It doesn't really matter what the shapes are provided the result
is a unicode character.

You just want to substitute one character for another

You have the string of characters here so you need to scan the string
and detect the special character pairs, do a look up and swap in the
unicode chars you want. I strongly suggest you do that in a method

def edit_input(self, input)
    for index,char in enumerate(input)
        ....
    return result

You can then proceed to process the new string as required.

          search_term = self.edit_input(search_term)
