Tim Allison commented on TIKA-4015:
-----------------------------------
Word allows search on the characters, but when I copy and paste them into the
find box, they're who-knows-boxed. I also get who-knows-boxes when I copy into
a text file.
LibreOffice copies out "abc" and allows search on "abc".
> Extract symbols as symbols from .docx
