What I have to do is remove this from an incoming feed. The char is in the data feed, it's not created on a mac, in fact it comes from Amazon.

So, I have to find a way to get it out of the incoming data feed. Have tried doing s/r before with no luck. But will try again.

I see this character sneak into code when I open something in Eclipse that was originally edited using some other editor or the file was originally created on a Mac.

"trap"?

Do you mean prevent it from getting in your app?  Use a whitelist.
