A solution that does not show 0 and >0 the same, but does allow
replacement with a character:
sysuse auto, clear
gen edu=round(mpg,5)
ren rep78 sex
gen one=!mi(sex)
collapse (count) count=one , by(sex edu)
la de c 1 "\" 2 "\"
la val c c
tabdisp sex edu, c(count)

This is a good idea.
It shows cells with zeros and ones identically, which may well be a feature for Percy.
Similarly the threshold is easy to tune.
What I meant by not trivial was that inserting other characters in the table would be difficult, but Austin is clearly right that blanking out cells is more straightforward.

Is the kind of thing that is wanted?
sysuse auto, clear
gen edu=round(mpg,5)
ren rep78 sex
table sex edu
egen ct=count(sex), by(sex edu)
table sex edu if ct>1

I don't recall any such command. It doesn't sound at all trivial to program. It seems easier to edit output, or even to write programs to edit output.
In this particular case, suppression seems counter-productive!

I once discovered an ado, which helps to automatically disclosure/suppress
cell content if it makes a reidentification of single persons possible.
Unfortunatelly this is years ago, I can't remember it or find it in my
ado-files. Has anybody a hint for me?!
Thanks in advance

Example (see low educated male, infact you might need to suppress a second
information, too):
. table sex edu
----------------------------------
| Education
Sex | low medium high
----------+-----------------------
male | 1 6 4
female | 8 53 26
----------------------------------
. table sex edu
----------------------------------
| Education
Sex | low medium high
----------+-----------------------
male | / 6 4
female | 8 53 26
----------------------------------
