issue with ^B characters in the file

Hello-

I have a csv file with japan email ids as the last column(pipe delimited file).
One of the email ids has some special characters which are not displayed on my UNIX box, however when ftped to local(Windows machine) I can see the email id terminated with a square box instead of pipe.

How can I remove these records from the csv file on the unix box?

Sample Data:
123456|23456|432|21|12|ABC-BCE| |N|email@email.ne

Thanks
Raghs....

Depending on the value used for argument transport, the following arguments can be added: Transport sendmail --sendmail-path path sets the path to the sendmail command (defaults to /usr/sbin/sendmail). Transport SMTP --smtp-host host sets the SMTP hostname (defaults to smtp). --smtp-port port sets the port to use (default value is 25). ARGUMENTS IN A XML FILE
