How can I get Eclipse to show non-printable characters like IntelliJ does

I deal with a lot of non-printable characters used as delimiters (\u001D) and IntelliJ will show them in Strings and in the console. Eclipse does not and I can't find a way to get it to show them.

IntelliJ is showing them as a little box that I can then copy and paste if need be.

Is that what are you looking for?

Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors

Look for Show whitespace characters and click on the link (whitespace characters) (<= v3.6) or (configure visibility) (>= v3.7).
