How to replace the “space symbol” (squat-u) in listings?












2















Instead of this output with a "squat-u" space symbol



enter image description here



I would like to replace it with e.g. $cdot$. It is no problem to replace the default symbol for tabs but not for spaces??





documentclass{article}
PassOptionsToPackage{final}{listings}
usepackage[%
,listings
]{tcolorbox}


newtcblisting{codeexample}{%
listing only,
listing options = {%
showspaces=true,
showtabs=true,
tab=rightarrowfill}
}

begin{document}
XXX
begin{codeexample}
Some text with spaces between words.

"what is a space"?
end{codeexample}
XXX
end{document}
