  Hi,
  
  I’m trying to change the whitespace and replacement character (black diamond with a white question mark ?) to other characters on Find/Change – MT-SCRIPT.
  Is there any way to do this? I’ve tried to put between “<>”, “%%” or “$$” and a GREP syntax, like \x{0020} .. But it didn’t work.
  
  (U+0020) – Space
  (U+FFFD) – Replacement
  
  Thank you!

  Hey Bruno,
  
  For some reason they made Unicode hard to search, I had to search and search to figure out how to find a Unicode character range in InDesign a while back.
  
  Try this,
  
  Find: \x{0020}
  Replace: \x{FFFD}

  Thank you for your help, Aaron!
  
  But apparently the codes that work in GREP does not work to find characters in MT-Script. :(
  I think the developer did not make a way to change these special characters…
