Here is a blank-mode version which it does not embed

Also the default end of line display char is ?\u21B5.

I think it is bad not to use face id for characters code above #x0FFFF,
because when they are displayed with the same faces as surrounding text,
they look as part of the buffer's text, and so this package defeats its
own purpose to visualize blanks clearly with a special background color.

I also think it is a bad thing, but this is a limitation of Emacs trunk (see make-glyph-code in disp-table.el file).

Probably this will not be a problem when Emacs unicode will be merged into trunk.

And this is not against the package purpose, as blank-mode has two ways to visualize blanks: faces and display table. By default, both ways are used (see blank-style variable), but the user can select only faces or only display table to visualize blanks. In the case of chars with code above #x0FFFF (for Emacs trunk), it is used only display table.

And still this change doesn't help to avoid rectangle boxes that are
displayed for ?\u21B5 with small fonts.  There is a function
`char-displayable-p' that could help, but it returns non-nil even
when ?\u21B5 is displayed as an empty rectangle box, e.g.:

(char-displayable-p ?\u21B5)

returns when ?\u21B5 is displayed as an empty rectangle box:
"-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--12-110-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1"

returns when ?\u21B5 is displayed normally as an arrow:
"-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1"

Ok, but char-displayable-p doesn't help too as it returns non-nil in situations where a hollow box is displayed.

As a temporary solution (until Emacs unicode merging), I set ?$ as a default value for end of line visualization.

Attached is blank-mode package with this default and also I changed the face background color when Emacs is using a dark background.

;;
;; Introduction
;; ------------
;;
;; This package is a minor mode to visualise blanks (SPACE, HARD SPACE
;; and TAB).
;;
;; blank-mode uses two ways to visualise blanks: faces and display
;; table.
;;
;; * Faces are used to highlight the background with a color.
;;   blank-mode uses font-lock to highlight blank characters.
;;
;; * Display table changes the way a character is displayed, that is,
;;   it provides a visual mark for characters, for example, at the end
;;   of line (?\xB6), at spaces (?\xB7) and at tabs (?\xBB).
;;
;; The `blank-style' and `blank-chars' variables are used to select
;; which way should be used to visualise blanks.
;;
;; Note that when blank-mode is turned on, blank-mode saves the
;; font-lock state, that is, if font-lock is on or off.  And
;; blank-mode restores the font-lock state when it is turned off.  So,
;; if blank-mode is turned on and font-lock is off, blank-mode also
;; turns on the font-lock to highlight blanks, but the font-lock will
;; be turned off when blank-mode is turned off.  Thus, turn on
;; font-lock before blank-mode is on, if you want that font-lock
;; continues on after blank-mode is turned off.
;;
;; When blank-mode is on, it takes care of highlighting some special
;; characters over the default mechanism of `nobreak-char-display'
;; (which see) and `show-trailing-whitespace' (which see).
;;
;; There are two ways of using blank-mode: local and global.
;;
;; * Local blank-mode affects only the current buffer.
;;
;; * Global blank-mode affects all current and future buffers.  That
;;   is, if you turn on global blank-mode and then create a new
;;   buffer, the new buffer will also have blank-mode on.  The
;;   `blank-global-modes' variable controls which major-mode will be
;;   automagically turned on.
;;
;; You can mix the local and global usage without any conflict.  But
;; local blank-mode has priority over global blank-mode.  That is:
;;
;; * when global and local blank-mode are on:
;;
;;    + if local blank-mode is turned off, blank-mode is turned off
;;      for the current buffer only.
;;
;;    + if global blank-mode is turned off, blank-mode continues on
;;      only in the buffers in which local blank-mode is on.
;;
;; * when global blank-mode is on and local blank-mode are off:
;;
;;    + if local blank-mode is turned on, only the modeline is
;;      modified.
;;
;; * when global blank-mode is off and local blank-mode are on:
;;
;;    + if global blank-mode is turned on, blank-mode is turned on in
;;      all buffers except that which has local blank-mode on.
;;
;; To use blank-mode, insert in your ~/.emacs:
;;
;;    (require 'blank-mode)
;;
;; Or:
;;
;;    (autoload 'blank-mode-on         "blank-mode"
;;      "Turn on blank visualisation."         t)
;;    (autoload 'blank-mode-off        "blank-mode"
;;      "Turn off blank visualisation."        t)
;;    (autoload 'blank-mode            "blank-mode"
;;      "Toggle blank visualisation."          t)
;;    (autoload 'blank-toggle          "blank-mode"
;;      "Toggle local `blank-mode' options."   t)
;;    (autoload 'blank-mode-customize  "blank-mode"
;;      "Customize blank visualisation."       t)
;;    (autoload 'global-blank-mode-on  "blank-mode"
;;      "Turn on blank mode in every buffer."  t)
;;    (autoload 'global-blank-mode-off "blank-mode"
;;      "Turn off blank mode in every buffer." t)
;;    (autoload 'global-blank-mode     "blank-mode"
;;      "Toggle blank mode in every buffer."   t)
;;    (autoload 'global-blank-toggle   "blank-mode"
;;      "Toggle global `blank-mode' options."  t)
;;
;; For good performance, be sure to byte-compile blank-mode.el, e.g.
;;
;;    M-x byte-compile-file <give the path to blank-mode.el when prompted>
;;
;; This will generate blank-mode.elc, which will be loaded instead of
;; blank-mode.el.
;;
;; blank-mode was tested with GNU Emacs 20.6.1, 21, 22 and 23.
;;
;;
;; Using blank-mode

;;
;; There is no problem if you mix local and global minor mode usage.

;;
;; `blank-mode-hook'
;;    It is evaluated always when blank-mode is turned on locally.
;;
;; `global-blank-mode-hook'

;;
;; To set the above options you may:
;;
;; a) insert the code in your ~/.emacs, like:
;;
;;       (setq blank-space-face 'underline)
;;
;;    This way always keep your default settings when you enter a new
;;    Emacs session.
;;
;; b) or use `set-variable' in your Emacs session, like:
;;
;;       M-x set-variable RET blank-space-face RET underline RET
;;
;;    This way keep your settings only during the current Emacs
;;    session.
;;
;; c) or use customization, for example:
;;    In Emacs 21 or lower:
;;       click on menu-bar *Help* option,
;;       then click on *Customize*,
;;       then click on *Browse Customization Groups*,
;;       expand *Data* group,
;;       expand *Blank* group
;;       and then customize blank-mode options.
;;    In Emacs 22 or higher:
;;       click on menu-bar *Options* option,
;;       then click on *Customize Emacs*,
;;       then click on *Browse Customization Groups*,
;;       expand *Data* group,
;;       expand *Blank* group
;;       and then customize blank-mode options.
;;    Through this way, you may choose if the settings are kept or not
;;    when you leave out the current Emacs session.
;;
;; d) or see the option value:
;;
;;       C-h v blank-space-face RET
;;
;;    and click the *customize* hypertext button.
;;    Through this way, you may choose if the settings are kept or not
;;    when you leave out the current Emacs session.
;;
;; e) or invoke:
;;
;;       M-x blank-mode-customize RET
;;
;;    and then customize blank-mode options.
;;    Through this way, you may choose if the settings are kept or not
;;    when you leave out the current Emacs session.
