GREP match expressions with endnote marker doesn't work correctly
Some GREP match expressions with endnote marker don't work. For instance:
(?<=~U)(.|\r|\t)
returns no result.
(.)~U
returns no result.
The same expressions work fine with footnote marker.
Error appears in all versions of ID up to current.

We had a [discussion about this on the forum](https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/grep-for-endnote-reference-chains/m-p/14821829) which adds a few examples of the problem.

I cannot get ~F or ~U to work in GREP styles at all, unless they are the only term in the GREP expression field. They do not work in e.g. "lookaheads," nor in character classes or as alternatives. They also seem not to work when both ~F and ~U are part of the same expression. These two GREP terms are very buggy. This is a critical issue for me.

In GREP styles, the "footnote marker" GREP string matches endnote markers, which it should not, and the "endnote marker" string does not seem to match anything, at least as part of a larger query.
