I missed something; why not keep . for the thick one?  as in the
current "|." ?

yes, there's many possibilities.  And whatever you end up doing,
we're going to change them in a few months in GLISS.

My recommendation: just pick something you like and run with it.
Right now this is in the "sour spot" of bikeshedding.  We should
either have a formal discussion (which waits until GLISS), or just
get something done by you picking arbitrarily.

I say that you should pick arbitrarily right now (or in the near
future).

Yes, those are much more important things to discuss.
