One attempt:

    [[ -o interactive ]] && function TRAPINT {
        zle && print -nP '%B%S^C%s%b'
        return $(( 128 + $1 ))
    }

`[[ -o interactive ]]' is to only define the trap in interactive
shells. `zle && ...' to only print ^C when the line editor is active.
`print -P' interprets prompt escape codes. %B and %b mark bold, %S and
%s standout/invert. That's the same format as the default
PROMPT_EOL_MARK. You can find other formatting options (prompt
escapes) in zshmisc(1).
