Usually, if you copy one of the target characters to the clipboard, you can
paste it into the Find what: field and it will work just fine.
Many special characters can also be inserted into Find what: or Replace
with: by clicking the More button in the Find and Replace dialog box, and
then clicking Special.

I often find symbols in MS documents I'd like to remove or replace with
something else.
Is there a way to detect the underlying code of a symbol or special
character to use for "Search and Replace"?
