I think they get out from the site where the item originates. So if there are some errors in the data, it is probably the data on this site that contains the error. It could be an encoding problem, but this particular situation does not look like one.So it is almost certainly not a problem that is caused by BibDesk. There is not much we can do about this, especially automatically. So you need to fix this manually. Although noticing it can be problematic. If you know what typos often occur for you (it may depend open the kind of sources you use) you could use a mechanism like Nathan described, or perhaps Database Search and Replace.

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.

[Bibdesk-users] Issue with page range character when retrieving entry through DOI
Dear fellow bibdesk users, since a few bibdesk updates ago, I encounter the following issue when pasting a doi into bibdesk in order to make it retrieve an entire entry from the internet (i.e., I paste a doi into the list of refrerences view with cmd+v): In the resulting entry, in the Pages field, the character between the first and the last page of the given entry is rendered as „â“ (e.g., Pages 87â102), breaking the preview and LaTeX/BibTex rendering unless I manually correct it to - or -- every time. Any idea how I can fix this? I am on bibdesk 1.9.2.
