How to encode U+FFFD in order to do a replace?

c#, character-encoding, special-characters

Solution

string s = s.Replace('\uFFFD','\'');

Problem

In a text file I obtain from a source I do not control, and which text content changes periodically and I have to compensate by re-downloading and processing, the char U+FFFD occurs frequently (but not always) when what is meant is the single quote or ' character. How can I encode a replace operation so as to replace the U+FFFD with an actual single-quote in C#. I envision something like: ``` string s = s.Replace("U+FFFD", "'"); ``` Clearly I should use the overload that deals with char, but I am not sure how to encode the U+FFFD, or for that matter, the single quote!
