Christine, its extended ascii value is 173. U didn't tell us what software you're using to validate with, but, probably the easiest way to fix this if u have search & replace is the following: 1) Put your cursor on the weird character; 2) select it, in most word processors it's shift right arrow; 3) Copy it, usually control c in most word processors; 4) Use your software's search & replace function--control h in word & clones, sometimes control r in other packages; 5) Paste the character into the search box--control v in most word processors; 6) Go to the replace with box & don't enter anything; 7) Hit the replace all, & they're history.
