Write the single word in its own frame, use either the frame border or a paragraph frame, cut or copy the frame into the clipboard and paste it as anchored frame into the text.

I want it to be a character style to use many times in paragraphs...
Doesn't seem like what you suggested would work.

Why shoul it not work? Of course, you can use it easy several times. Create an Object Style which will define the text frame frame how it is anchored, and it will iclude the paragraph style and manymore.

You can place the word in a text frame and place it as an anchor.

Hi @devorah_9121 ,

is this for printed material only?

Then you could follow @jmlevy . If it is for a PDF or HTML export (also Publish online) where text should be copyable or a machine should read it, then an additional character should not be set.
