How to remove the  character from a string in java?

Question

I have the following string in which the Â special character is coming in hidden. I want to remove only the Â from this string ~IQBAL~KARACHI¦~~~~~~~~~~~.

Here is a before and after image to show what I mean:

I've tried this code:

responseMessageUTF.replaceAll("\\P{InBasic_Latin}", "");

but this is also replacing the ¦ character. Is there any way to remove only the Â character and not the ¦ character?

Answer 1

I have a simple one liner code, it removes for most of the non-UTF-8 characters. I tested for your character as well i.e. Â.

        String myString = "~KARACHI¦~~~~~~";
        String result = myString.replaceAll("[^\\x00-\\x7F]","");
        System.out.println(result);

You can find complete code here. You may test that as well here.
