I don't know if this is a bug that requires a software fix (perhaps Christiaan can address that). I will mention that I often encounter various small data quality issues similar to this one, depending on the data source. Whenever I encounter such a recurrent problematic character, I create a smart group in BibDesk to catch it. For example, in your case the smart group rule would be: Pages contains â. Then if you have "Show group counts" enabled in BibDesk's Display preferences, the list of smart groups in the sidebar will show you how many publications have the problematic character. If the count is non-zero, you can do a Database Find and Replace within the smart group to replace the problematic character.
