 or ^L is not invisible in Emacs, it is visible, and usually red
highlighted, quite clear.

It is easy to type by using quoted-insert: C-q C-l

There are many various characters. Majority of people will never
change their keybindings, but some people will change it
extensively. I am using these kinds of ⟦ ⟧ brackets.

One can get it with "C-x 8 RET MATHEMATICAL LEFT WHITE SQUARE BRACKET"
but I have it on key bindings.

In online discussions that is quite handy when there is no other
markup method.
