You know that the anchor is shown when you switch on line numbers? (Alt+N)
I chose "+" as the character to show the presence of an anchor so that it
would work also in a plain C / ISO8859 locale, and on a Linux console where
the font is often rather limited. But I will admit that its visibility is
poor. Maybe nano should use a different character when in a UTF-8 locale?
I propose U+25C6 (black diamond, ◆).
(On the Linux console of my machine, a character that is not in the font
gets shown as a little diamond, so the anchor will seem to display okay
even when the font doesn't have it.)
