If God can do anything then can God find the meaning of £$%^&^%$£ ?
 
Probably not. For God to find meaning in that, there would have to be meaning in that. As there isn’t meaning, God can’t find meaning in it because that would create a contradiction. God doesn’t work in contradictions because that would mean He lied at some point in the situation. This is the same as the question what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. For God to create an unstoppable force means he didn’t create an immovable object and vice versa. To create this situation, God would have to have lied at some point in the equation which is why contradictions don’t work.
 
God is able to do anything that is possible. Contradictions and paradoxes are not in the realm of possible.

The point of absolute omnipotence is that even the system of logic we use to pose paradoxes is contingent on G-d. G-d could have arranged us and the universe in such a way as that no no contradictions are possible. Our ability to comprehend such a thing is no barrier to G-ds ability to do it.

Of course we must remember Luke 4:12
And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
 
There’s no temptation for God, because nothing has been presented as a temptation.

So there is no “contradiction”.

Don’t try and keep God when the solution is possible without God.

Some things can be solved without God. For example, finding out what tiime the train leaves, enjoying a cup of tea, and recognising a confidence-trickster.
Also, seeing how a statement framed as a question need not actually be a question, and hence seeing how £$%^&^%$£ was never meant to mean anything.

I’m not sure I understand. Train schedules, cups of tea, and character recognition are all situations that don’t seem to have much to do with G-d. But the question in the OP necessarily involves G-d in any answer. It literally cannot be solved without involving G-d. Further you are using the symbols “£$%^&^%$£” to indicate something that is meaningless. Which is the act of making a meaningful statement. I am not sure it is possible for a human being to express a statement that has no meaning. Even if we refer to a logical contradiction like the ICU, it is meaningful in that we are referring to a state of affairs that cannot possibly exist. Not only is G-d not bound by logic because it is contingent on Him, but if I can divine a meaning from the phrase “£$%^&^%$£”, then surely G-d can as well.
