The original depended on 1700/1625/1701 around each replace.       So I removed the redundancy. When I tested it, only some characters worked.              But for characters like degree, copyright, trademark, registered, etc.,       Notepad++ apparently must have the reset (1700), clear (1625) and end (1701)       lines around the replace (1702) because otherwise, AFAICT, the Find/Replace       engine apparently doesn't        execute.              So we're stuck with the redundancy for Notepad++ to replace each character.        Hyphens: - - - - - -        Quotes: ' ' " " 'backtick'        Ellipsis: ...        Bullets: *        Zero-widtha: ''' (these may look invisible)        Spaces:        Symbols: 90deg (C) (TM) (R)        Arrowa: ->        Literals: - —        Diacritics: g s e a        SOH: [U+0001 here]        etc.                     Here is the latest working version which I tested against the above characters.                                                                                                              |
