On the subject of high-ascii chars.  Here's my favourite for your .vimrc

 execute 'set listchars+=tab:'.nr2char(187).nr2char(183)

187 is the "significantly greater than" symbol and 183 is a central dot.  i.e. 
every character of a tab is non-space.  The actual characters used aren't 
actually the point I wanted to make; the thing here is that two non-space 
characters are used, so every column occupied by the tab is visible - this 
makes it very easy to see where tabs end and spaces begin.
