If you know the character you are looking for, you can paste it into
a script like the one below, to quickly fix specific tables and columns.
update table
set column_name= replace(column_name,'û',null)
where column_name like '%û%'
/
You can use ' ' in place of null if you really want a blank in there.
It may take a while to run on big tables.
