That may be an option for this specific person's particular task, but expecting
this to be the go-to solution for the average user is not reasonable, in my
opinion. I feel confident in saying that it is a small subset of LO users who
know what regular expressions are or would ever think to search for a character
using a hex code. This seems to me like more of a workaround than an expected
use case for what should be the simple task of finding a specific character
(and only that character).

Even if you don't consider this to be a bug, the enhancement proposals Mike K.
provides in Comment 4 seem like good usability improvements to me.
