Output

let
    Source = #table(type table[Value=text], {{"Anything"}, {"Something else"}, {"Another text abc"}}),
    TextToReplace = {"Anything", "text"},
    R = [ a = List.Transform(TextToReplace, Text.Trim),
    b = Record.FromList(List.Transform(a, each _ & "⁺"), a)
  ][b],
    StepBack = Source,
    Ad_Replaced = Table.AddColumn(StepBack, "Replaced", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(Text.Split([Value], " "), (x)=> Record.FieldOrDefault(R, x, x)), " "), type text) 
in
    Ad_Replaced

Thanks.  Your solution does work.  Staying with your example, assume the starting value is "Anything" rather then "Anything+".  How would you replace "Anything" with "Anything+" (+ is a superscript)?

Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","Anything+", "Anything" & Character.FromNumber(0x207A),Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Value"})

Pls try

let
    Source = "Anything",
   tab= #table(1, {{Source}}),
    AddCol = Table.AddColumn(tab, "to", each [Column1]&"⁺")
in
    AddCol
