Yes, I'm pleased to report, I did, but not in a "normal" way. After I responded to your help with my thank you note, I returned to the problem, because we hadn't solved it, I just didn't want to lean on your generosity to assist me. Then, being a very tenacious person, that I am, I couldn't let the problem go. Then, and then, I cracked it. Whooppee! I had returned to this thread to let you know, then I noticed you'd asked whether or not I'd been able to fix it. So without waffling on any longer, I'd like to share with you my procedure to replace an unidentified glyph (replacement character). Hopefully this will be a helpful guide for those intrepid people who are working within the Calibre eBook editor.
Here 'tis:
OPEN Calibre and find the ebook you want to edit.
FIND the glyph you want to replace (mine was a white rectangle with a question mark within it)
SELECT and COPY the glyph and PASTE it into the FIND box at the bottom of the screen. IMPORTANT: sometimes the glyph will not display when you paste it into the find box. Don’t worry, keep going.
CLICK the Find button to see if the software will find the Glyph, if so, then
REPLACE the invisible glyph with what ever character you care to replace it with (I replaced the glyph with a comma and a space)
TEST with one replacement and if it works then do the lot.
FIND and REPLACE the glyph with the characters of choice.
It worked for me. Good luck!
