    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 ...

Juri Linkov is right.

    ... and so this package defeats its own purpose to visualize
    blanks clearly ...

Unfortunately,  Version 7.0,  2007/10/31, 

    http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/download/blank-mode.el

looks better (with a dollar sign rather than a pilcrow, although I prefer
\u21B5).
