Hi,

I need to replace a string of text that contains a 'White Square' (□) with a break, <br />.

These are in the database fields, and the programs used for exporting this data can only use qhite squares, and manaully changing the database is out of the question - over 1000 records!

I tried copying and pasting the white square from the database directly into notepad, but this doesn't work.

So, what is the entity name/number for a White Square.

Well, the quite square represents an unknown character. These often come about due to corruption.

Why does your data contain foreign characters? I am not totally sure if there is infact an ASCII "unknown" character.
