You can select the character and copy/paste it into the find field.
There is a text string I used to use that told find and replace to insert a
paragraph break. Thinking and thinking, it may have been ^p. If I get a chance
I’ll test taht out, it’s been a lot of years since I used it. If I recall, I
did something that put a * in place of line breaks in a document that had them
in weird places, then I would find and replace the strings of * characters with
spaces or paragraph/line breaks as appropriate. There was a sequence to it, but
when I was converting from a pdf or ebook with lots and lots of pages it was
worth making the computer do the work.

Hi, list.
Today, as I was taking all the HTML tags out of a document, using “Find and
Replace,” in TextEdit, I tried to replace paragraph tags with blank lines. In
other worse, I was converting
</p> <p>
To two blank lines, standard paragraph separation for written text.
However, what came out was some strange symbol, where I wanted the two blank
lines. The HTML tags are gone, but the paragraphs don’t look right.
Here’s my question: Does anyone know how to make that strange symbol, so I
can tell TextEdit to replace it with the standard double-spacing? Also, how
the heck do I enter those two blank lines into the Replace field?
I hope that makes sense. I’d hate to have to do this revision by hand…
