If you put the particular character in a cell then use a formula like

=CODE(A1)

you will get the number for the character set for your computer, so if you
have a space it will return 32

=CHAR(32)

will return a space

so if you want to replace CHAR(32) do ctrl + h, then in the find what box
hold down the alt key while typing 032 on the numpad and the leave replace
with blank the space(s) should be gone

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"?
