    They are truncation glyphs. You can disable them by evaluating the following:

    (set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 'truncation ?\s)
    

    This replaces the truncation glyphs with spaces.

    When opening mutliple windows in that frame, I see these $ signs refresh often which is visually distracting. I’m not sure what they’re called, so I’m having a hard time figuring out how to configure them.

      FYI on GUI frames the indicators appear in the fringe, and can be configured like so:

      (push '(truncation nil nil) ;; no truncation indicators
            ;; '(truncation nil right-arrow) ;; right indicator only
            ;; '(truncation left-arrow nil) ;; left indicator only
            ;; '(truncation left-arrow right-arrow) ;; default
            fringe-indicator-alist)))
      

      /u/AkibAzmain has your solution for terminal frames.
