How does the REPLACE_MAPPING dataset work for special characters?

In the 2022 version, we see that when we import a user with certain special characters those characters are not changed.  Then if you update any attribute on the user, it seems to fire off a replace of special characters with the replace_mapping dataset.  We would like to change which characters are replaced.  Questions on this:

1.How is this dataset being used.  There values look like this:

1. What actions cause this replace to happen?  (Example we see it on a user attribute edit, but not on a create.)

2. Do we have the option to edit this dataset to change what characters are replaced, and if so what is the format needed (is the replace doing on a contains or is it a full match, etc.)?

3. Is there a configuration setting to disable the replace and then we could create our own and do the logic we need ourselves?
