Characters being ignored?

I am trying to do a Find/Replace do a symbol character throughout an entire
document. The character is clearly used in many many lines within cell
tables, but the Ctrl+H (Find/Replace) is not seeing them and replacing them.
Any reason why a table should make a difference?

The test was originally copied and pasted from a PDF, so they are being
recognized as Symbols. Already did the Find/Replace.
What bothers me is why is the character only being recognized in the text of
the document, and not within the cells of a table? I think you are missing
the point of my question - I don't have a problem with Symbols and I don't
have a problem with Ctrl+H. I have a problem with Word not recognizing the
request for a specific character when said character exists in a cell.
See??

Thanks,

Well, FWIW, I can't reproduce your experience. If I insert that character in
a table and outside a table, Word will find both. But if I use that
character as the bullet in an automatic bulleted list, Word will not find
it.
