[FEATURE] Using Colors to Differentiate Character Types

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Just yesterday I downloaded the android pass app from the google play store since I was told that version is always the latest while the f-droid one is missing certain features.
I was reading #3066 and thought that the way the iOS pass app handles differentiating character types might be a font agnostic way to handle that.
Describe the solution you'd like
Is this an option to implement?
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've looked through the settings on the current version installed from google play and could not find anything like this already implemented.
Additional context
I have been a long time user of the f-droid pass app on android as well as the iOS pass app. This is my first time trying the google play pass app.
FWIW both Google Play and F-Droid have near identical builds of the app (differences explained here), the comment about Google Play being more up-to-date is simply due to us uploading the binaries right away and F-Droid building their own where the queue is always backed up for a week. The actual latest version of the app is always the snapshot build which has accumulated a lot of breaking changes in the past 3 or so years.
That being said, the font ambiguity problem is mostly dealt with for now so while this looks like a good idea I don't have any motivation to implement it. I've been trying to get back into the swing of bug fixing and there's just so much higher priority stuff to take care of.
@msfjarvis I don't have any time at the moment but perhaps I can take a shot at it one day if help is still needed once I do gain some free time. It would probably be at least a few months since I'm in the process of moving to a new country currently.
How would I go about testing my fork on android? Or is it easier to just run it on my linux laptop?

When you run the app via Android Studio it should install a debug build that has a different package name and will install alongside the build that we distribute without affecting its data.
