It is a FAQ, really.
There is definitely a usability problem. My feeling balance between removing
the overwrite mode (how many times I mistakenly switch it in Emacs by mistake
on my desktop) and making it more obvious. I believe that for that solution,
the best is a square caret that highlight the character to be replaced.
"OVR"/"INS" is definitely not user friendly.
