How to replace ï¿½ in a string

Question

I have a string that contains a character ï¿½ I haven't been able to replace it correctly. ``` String.replace("ï¿½", ""); ``` doesn't work, does anyone know how to remove/replace the ï¿½ in the string?

Accepted Answer

That's the Unicode Replacement Character, \uFFFD. (info)

Something like this should work:

```
String strImport = "For some reason my �double quotes� were lost.";
strImport = strImport.replaceAll("\uFFFD", "\"");
```
