depends on a few things:
a) what language(s) the editor is written in -- compiled (view source code or compiled code) vs. interpreted (view script(s) source code)
b) support for utf8/utf16/utf32.
c) shell command line based (sed/ed) vs. interpreted text editor program[4] vs. text application[2]

no, text editor would not hide anything from the user[1] (unlike wysiwig[2])
few ways to interpret what's being asked:
text editor using treesitter extentions with approrpiate programming lanauge knowlege does allow for 'rolling up/down code blocks' to reduce/expand displayed code per lanauge groupings to reduce screen clutter. An ai can be used 'autobuild'/associate macros/tags references. where ai would translate/redirect 'verbal/audio' english commands to relevant text editor macros. This would be more akin to the human version of computer programing language hiding the binary/compiled stuff, where AI is just replacing OS & cli.
Example reference: text editor combined with additional application to show/display live html as it is edited/updated (vs. having all of the aforementioned available in an ide / word processor).[1]
one can use ai to do a transform audio/spoken commands into text that is then interpreted by an ai[3] vs. more traditional use gui object related to 'code' puredyne, swiftlatex, sun news
