Ha, sorry to create confusion, I thought I'd articulated myself well! I
do want a color bar to the left of a series of characters, but
vertically-aligned characters, creating a multi-line vertical bar (I'm
trying to prettify Org Agenda's display of multi-day agenda items).
Initial experimentation indicates that Michael Heerdegen's stipple
suggestion might do the trick!
Thanks,
