Hello All,

I have being trying to solve this problem for weeks know, but I think I'm very close in resolving it. The problem is that my data contains box like symbols in it. According to lookuptables.com the character representation for the box like character is #164. How would I find and delete the box like characters from my table?


The list below is function or method that I have tried which did not work:

- LTRIM and RTRIM
- DECOMPOSE AND COMPOSE (The data is coming from an Oracle database)
- Patindex
-Changed the data type from char to the following: nvarchar, nchar, and ntext

Thanks.

Please advice
