>From the manual:
‘* c OLD-MARKCHAR NEW-MARKCHAR’
Replace all marks that use the character OLD-MARKCHAR with marks
that use the character NEW-MARKCHAR (‘dired-change-marks’). This
command is the primary way to create or use marks other than ‘*’ or
‘D’. The arguments are single characters—do not use <RET> to
terminate them.
(and yes, it is not easy to find unless you know what you're looking
for).
