To each his own, of course, but I find |µ| just as misleading as |m|,
and much less so than |ñ|.

[In ISO-8859-1]
How about |¿|? It makes more sense for the voiced one than the
voiceless one, given the IPA, but if you don't have the voiceless one, it
seems fairly reasonable. I think |£| and |þ| both bear a slight resemblance
to the IPA barred-h. Using |¼| is probably too weird, but maybe |×|
(due to its similarity to |x| or ³ (similar to Arabic 'ayin)) . ..
