Ok I found a way to tell sed about that [0092] char.
As an example, let's take this line:
Code:
disabled,DBBD-1DA4,"Start with 9 lives (don[0092]t set lives in options menu)"

(as seen on the screenshot above.)
Let's use the od command to see what's inside this char:
Code:
echo 'disabled,DBBD-1DA4,"Start with 9 lives (don[0092]t set lives in options menu)"' | od -c
0000000   d   i   s   a   b   l   e   d   ,   D   B   B   D   -   1   D
0000020   A   4   ,   "   S   t   a   r   t       w   i   t   h       9
0000040       l   i   v   e   s       (   d   o   n 302 222   t       s
0000060   e   t       l   i   v   e   s       i   n       o   p   t   i
0000100   o   n   s       m   e   n   u   )   "  \n
0000113

We clearly see 302 and 222 that seem to compose our '
Using this, we can then write
Code:
$ echo 'disabled,DBBD-1DA4,"Start with 9 lives (don[0092]t set lives in options menu)"' | sed 's/'$(echo $'\302'$'\222')'/'$(echo $'\'')'/'

(works at least in bash)
