Default Replace an Odd Character from HTML Text

Using Word 2000 on a Win 10 computer:


When I cut the contents of an HTML document and then use Paste Special to paste it into a Word document, lots of "characters" like the ones shown below appear. I tried using Replace to get rid of them but I don't know what to put into the Find field.


If I copy the character and try to put it in the Find field, it won't go.




What are these characters and what code can I use in the future to search and replace them?
