Maybe, but I think not: I don't think "" is more commonly recognized as
newline than "\n", so it's not worth the trouble of having to deal with
cases where that char can't be displayed.
Same thing for ⇥ (which on my current setup displays as something
barely recognizable): I actually wondered what you intended to use it
for, so it's not obvious enough. I think for TAB and SPC, the problem
is only when they're at the beginning/end of the completion element (or
when the element is made of nothing else than TABs and SPCs), so I think
that adding quotes around the element will be more clear.
