String locator plugin was an incredible help to find where to edit an HTML code to change to the new twitter 𝕏 logo. ( After downloading I found it under tools in my WP ) These were my steps: a)Go to where you need to make the change and click on Inspect, b) copy part of the code that is particular to what you want to do - not too long though c) Go to the string locator plugin under tools, write where do you want to find your code ( I looked under my theme ) and then write the string you are looking for. d) I had six places where I could make changes. The String Locator" plugin will let you edit right there your file, so be careful.

the most easy way to find HTML code or text is here: String Locator. just download this plugin and type the html code or text you need to find out and you can easily know the exact location of the particular code or text and after that you can easily change it.

Cheers!

Go to wp-content/themes/your-theme/footer.php

There should be the PHP/HTML for the footer.

It is not always that easy to find where the html comes from. e.g. : You can have a widget area in your footer.php and then your html comes from the widget you added to this area.

It also depends on the theme you use. But mostly you'll see a header.php/footer.php/index.php file.
