Yes and yes. 


But let me refine the question - WHAT IS THE CHARACTER??? I cannot find a way 
to trap it and I don't know the ASCII or other chr()

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.

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.

As Dean mentioned - use a whitelist.  Only allow those characters in that
are in your whitelist and exclude all others.  Perhaps REReplace?
 
Cheers,
