I have a large amount of data in a database. When I attempt to read a certain portion of the data and generate some xml and send it to a webservice I get the following exception...
The char '0x8' in 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException'.
I'm guessing it is some bad data, as it has worked perfectly for about 7 months but now some user uploaded some new data that seems to have some issues.
Anyone know what character this is so I can just run a sql query and clean it from the db? Thanks in advance.

@alexpanganiban, the unicode character 0x8 represents a backspace: http://www.unicode-symbol.com/u/0008.html. It shows up within XML Generator's template editor like so (see the pink highlighted period-like character before “Tove”):
If char variable contains int value, we can get the int value by calling Character. getNumericValue(char) method. Alternatively, we can use String. valueOf(char) method.
8 is usually a backspace.

The ASCII Character 0x08 (or 8) would be the Backspace character.ASCII Map

You can convert into Binary Base64 while storing data into XML to solve these issues.
