How do I replace a unicode character using sed

I have a unicode character {Unicode: 0x1C} in my file and I need to replace it with a blank. How would a sed command look like?

cat file1 | sed "s/(//g;" > file2

Is X28 the right value for this Unicode character??

Try using the 'tr' command - replacing Ctl-A to 'X':

tr '\001' 'X' < inp_file
3

Did you mean this?

tr '\001' ^A < temp1.xml > temp3.xml

4

The code:

tr '\001' 'X' < inp_file

will replace Ctl-A (Octal 001) by the character 'X' in the 'inp_file'.

Is there a way to replace all characters more than ASCII 128 to a space??
