The 'funny' thing about this (it isn't funny, it is a pain in the bum) is that my script is ONLY replacing the first occurrence of 'ѧ' with the image:

I don't see where you define "property" to loop through the magic items. That line just searches a string literal, which contains only a single item defined as "property" so nothing happens.

Yes: you are quite right: but this makes no difference:

Thanks for nothing.

Make use of the third possible parameter for OFFSET -> skip
From "wordoffset":

...
For example, if the stringToSearch is "This is a test" and the wordToFind is "test", wordOffset(wordToFind,stringToSearch) returns 4. However, wordOffset(wordToFind, stringToSearch,3) returns 1, even though it is finding the same occurrence, because the first three words are skipped.
...

Also, you are only searching a single word "cheese" in the first repeat because it's a literal, so by default there is only one so-called item. You want to search the field content, and it would go faster if you put the text of the field into a variable.
If you would post the code as text instead of an image I could help rewrite the rest but I'm on a mobile device and it's too tedious to type it out. It's also too small to read comfortably.
