I think I saw some of those z-z-z-z-z's in the copy edit mark-up of THE CAGED GRAVES! Well, actually, it was a politely worded note in the margin: Is there a reason we need to know this? But same thing, right?
My editor also needed a symbol like this:

What editing symbol needs to be invented for YOUR manuscript?
