in thread Replacing none alpha/numeric characters in a Word document

I have now used your suggestion and looked in the reference.
As I could not see a tick referenced I tried the code for 1/2 as one character.
This is 0x00BD.
using = 0x00BD for xx5 I got 189 in the modified Word document (the decimal value for hex BD).
using = '0x00BD' for xx I got 0x00BD.
I can see why this happened.
Therefore what do I have to do to get the 1/2 as a single character?
Also how do I get to characters in other 'fonts' such as Wingdings?
