Presently, every time I want to check something off I have to Google "checkmark", copy the symbol from a 3 rd party website, paste it into a text editor to remove formatting, and then copy and paste it into the program I'm trying to use. (Word has an option to remove formatting, but most other programs don't.)
1. I understand you are trying to type the Unicode Character 'CHECK MARK' (U+2713) : . The documentation here is not very helpful. The way to do that is to type: Alt down + 2713 Alt up. You need to use the NumPad while typing the + and the numbers. Unfortunately Alt + + codes only work with a registry tweak.
Click OK. Now whenever you want to enter a character, either use the Run menu or shortcut/accelerator key to open Windows Character Map, and either pick one or more characters or search for it/them using its Unicode name in "Search for:", copy to the clipboard, close Character Map and paste in Notepad++.

8. Yes, Unicode character U+232B "ERASE TO THE LEFT", rendered as ⌫, is used to represent the backspace key on a keyboard. Nice. You can also add "↵" U+21B5 (Downwards Arrow with Corner Leftwards) for the enter key. There is also ⌦ U+2326 "ERASE TO THE RIGHT" for the Forward Delete key.
You can then simply type the associated character unicode (e.g. U+2705 ) into the symbol tool. Wikipedia: Check Marks > Unicode. Method 2. Paste the symbol in Word. You can alternatively paste the symbol you want to use into MS Word and then with the symbol highlighted, check the Font Family.
U+FFFD : "replacement character" used to replace an unknown or unprintable character. ASCII goes up to 128, and ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) up to 256, a single byte. If you wanted to replace this character, you might have to do so by splitting the 2 bytes it into 2 characters of 1 byte each: \xFF and \xFD.
There is a risk that the information won't be retrievable at all. PDF documents are essentially one document overlying another, one simple text, the other a picture. When you copy and paste from the document, you mark the text while looking at the picture, but what is copied to your clipboard is the corresponding piece of the text part.
7. You can start "Character map", choose your font, search you character and at the bottom (in the status bar) is the Alt code you need. (In Windows 7 you can press Start and begin type Character map en choose it at the top.) The fact that you get a different character with Alt + 227 is probably that you're using a different font.
