Unicode characters conflation?
In the find and replace tool in Word (ctrl+H) I would like to replace the left single quotation mark [ ' = U+2018] with the upper left double quotation mark [ “ = U+201C] (to insert the Unicode values I use the hex value and Alt+X.). Yet, Word consistently replaces the latter with the lower left single quotation mark [ „ = U+201E]. Is this me doing something wrong, or is it a bug?
Replace when wild cards used
In excel, ? matches any single character, thus s?b could be used to find s1b, s2b, and so forth. Once the matching items are found, I would like to leave the value matched by the ? wild card unchanged, let's say, for example, I want s1b to be replaced by s1foo, s2b by s2foo, and so forth. I tried using s?foo as the replacement string, but that literally replaced the digit with the ? character rather than leaving it alone. Is there a character that indicates "no change" to what matched the wildcard?
