Sorry - this seems to have been ignored. I doubt I'm much help - I wish I understood these things - but I should at least have the decency to reply.
F&R is a funny beast with a mind of its own; it doesn't always work as you might expect with non-ascii characters but sometimes it does what you want without quite managing to show it correctly.
I know little about this but I wonder whether code pages have anything to do with it. Might the code page used in the F&R dialogue differ from the one used in the body of the document? Or might it even be trying to do some kind of conversion of your input? Does it work if you hold Alt and type in the character code (I don't know what code page you are using so don't know what code to use to try it).

google groups didn't show it to me, but sent me directly to the middle
of a thread, which I didn't have time to look for the beginning of
yet.
I don't know whether any of that relates to your question - it depends what
the characters are.
As far as working or not in F&R - can you give an example?
Frinstance, I get all my macronned letters with Ctrl+Alt+hyphen,
letter. If I need to replace a pre-Unicode coding for u-macron, I type
C-A-hyphen, u and a u-macron goes into the Replace window; but if I
need to replace a pre-Unicode coding for i-macron, I type C-A-hyphen,
i and nothing at all goes into the Replace window! I have to do it by
typing C-A-hyphen, i in the text, Copy and Paste to the Replace
window, and then it's fine.
(One of the letters that insists on its own font -- sometimes Times
New Roman, sometimes Simsun -- when I type it into the text is a-
macron. But it goes happily into the Replace window, and gets replaced
in the correct font.)
