special character
Hi,

I am trying to unload file from a database. Which contains few lines with the character below. Rest of the data was unloaded appropriately.

Code:

a) What does this below character means?
b) How can i remove it,
I already have
Code:
sed '/^$/d'

c) Will this effect the file by any means (If I am guessing properly, this is the eof notation)

Thanks for help
