ASC II chars and the editor

Hope someone has a good quick answer for me. Looking to update a field that contains for example &#8212 and a semi colon which represents the (em dash). I can use Alt 0151 in the schema browser, but not in the editor. I’m needing to do a replace for this string with the appropriate ASC II char. Is there a setting I need to set in the editor to allow me to use ASC II? Thanks in advance for the help.
