Hi there,
I'm trying to record a macro that finds and deletes (replaces with "") all instances of a special character, namely "★", in a spreadsheet.
When I use the find and replace function this works perfectly, but when I record it into a macro it doesn't recognise it and replaces the instance in the code with a question mark:
I'm sure this is quite simple but I can't see a similar post in the forum to refer to.

many thanks for all your help!
I copied the star in the post to cell A1 then in B1: =CODE(A1) which resulted in 63. You should double check.
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(63), etc

Thanks for your quick response protonLeah.
I've tried the suggested code and it deletes everything from the sheet for some reason. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
I used AscW in VB Editor to find the UNICODE value of AscW("★ ") = 9733, so ChrW(9733) will find the "★ "
