The ASCII characters 6, 7, 8, 9, and , are not used to represent anything in NetHack by default, although [,] is the pick up command.
Some players change the "monsters" option in the options file to take advantage of one of these unused symbols. A default line looks like:
OPTIONS=monsters:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@ '&;:~]
One alternative is:
OPTIONS=monsters:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@8'&;:~]
which uses "8" for ghosts and shades. This makes them detectable via telepathy as well as generally easier to see.
