There are some Greek, Hebrew, etc. words used in the text. While proofreading, the editor would like to check these words separately (glyphs from different alphabets, unusual symbols, ...), so I'd like to typeset the warning (margin note), where these words are located. To avoid usual markup \greek{ὀρφανῖος} it could be useful to typeset a margin note whenever the defined fallback is called.
The unfamiliar symbols could be in the main font and no fallback would be called then (one can still define the fallback with the main font as in the MWE, bold used for the illustration), but you might have a better ideas how to point out these suspects.
The margin note is ment for searching PDF where one cannot search for color (basic viewer), which could be the other approach (also visible in print). I think, the color could be achieved with finalizers. One should also think of hyphenation and l2r/r2l direction, so in the end the usual approach might be the best way.
You might use other approaches, how to deal with suspects of this type. Below the MWE for font fallbacks with distribution fonts.
Not critical, just looking for ideas. Already there for ages ... testsuite goodies-002.tex + demo.lfg shows how to color your special characters ... one of the probably many unknown features -)
There's also this: \enabletrackers[fonts.missing=replace] \startTEXpage Jano uses \char 12345. \stopTEXpage and of course you then watch the log ... (at the meeting Ton showed other proofing tricks).
