Default Identifying Concentric Square Loops Special Character for Find & Replace

I was making up an instruction sheet for exercises so I copied text from a document.

I merged the format into my Word Document & it shows a Text Element that I don't recognise.
I need to know what it is so that I can enter it into Find & Replace to fix the document.

The document is in 11 point Times New Roman.

The Dots are a graphic symbol & are not inserted as an automatic Bullet List.

I tried to find what the Text Element was by a bit of cheating.
I firstly copied the Big Dot used as a manual bullet.
I then went to "Insert Symbol" & it showed the Big Dot was the last symbol used.

I then copied the Concentric Square Loops symbol that I can't identify.
I then went to "Insert Symbol" & it DID NOT show the Concentric Square Loops symbol was the last symbol used.
From that I surmise that it is some form of Special Character.

I just found out about selecting it & using Alt+X to identify the character.
It gives the code 200B.




How can I identify this character?

How can I insert it in the Find Box for Find & Replace?

Is there any way to copy special characters into the Find Box if I have this issue again or to identify them?

Thanks,
Brian.
