Check your man page for tr.

Mine says -

SunOS 5.10 Last change: 13 Aug 2003 7

User Commands tr(1)

Unlike some previous versions, /usr/xpg4/bin/tr correctly
processes NUL characters in its input stream. NUL characters
can be stripped by using tr -d '\000'.

so try tr -d < (infilename) > (outfilename)
