Default "Search" help

I am editing an excel database that has been worked on previously in either a
different format or under a different operating system so throughout the
spreadsheet characters such as "™‚" or various other shapes appear.I have
tried searching for these characters but excel returns a "Cannot find the
data you are searching for" message. is there anyway i can find and replace
these characters without manually scanning through the data?

Works fine for me.
Can you post a copy of the sheet somewhere?
