Description
Problem
This input has an invisible Unicode character:
1234
You can see it at the end while editing an SQL query in VS Code.
VS Code highlights invisible Unicode characters using feature editor.unicodeHighlight:
But when reviewing the query results such values are not visible or highlighted:
SELECT '1234' as invis_char_result
Feature request
VS Code highlights invisible Unicode characters using feature editor.unicodeHighlight.
Would be great if you can add such feature to query results view.
