In display.texi (formatted version) we have this:

|                                            Normally, a `$' in the
| rightmost column of the window indicates truncation; a `\' on the
| rightmost column indicates a line that "wraps" onto the next line,
| which is also called "continuing" the line.  (The display table can
| specify alternative indicators; see *Note Display Tables.)
|
|    On a graphical display, the `$' and `\' indicators are replaced with
| arrow images displayed in the window fringes (*note Fringes).


"Normally" ?

I suggest changing it to:


|                                             Normally, tiny arrow images
| are displayed in the window fringes to indicate truncated and continued
| lines (*note Fringes).
|  
|    On a text terminal, a `$' in the rightmost column of the window
| indicates truncation; a `\' on the rightmost column indicates a
| continued line that "wraps" onto the next line.  (The display table can
| specify alternative indicators; see *Note Display Tables.)
