awk 'BEGIN{FS = "Ç"}
NR == 1 {p = $0; next}
NF > 1 {print p; p = $0}
NF <= 1 {p = (p " " $0)}
END {print p}' input.txt.out_temp > output.txt

Thanks everyone that contributed into this.
I'm very glad that you got something that works for you. When I try this code with the sample input you provided, I get:
Code:
29863Ç890000000Ç543209911ÇCHNGOHG
Ç000000001Ç055Ç 2014 04 24 00 00 00PMÇ  
01 89765Ç708364680Ç736454ÇCHNGDONG
Ç093737464Ç 2014 04 24 01 12 00PMÇ

(note the two trailing spaces on the 2nd line of output, the 01<space> at the start of the third line, the <space> before 2014 on the 2nd and 4th lines, and four lines of output containing your field delimiter). This doesn't seem to be at all like what you said you wanted in the first message in this thread:
Code:
29863Ç890000000Ç543209911ÇCHNGOHGÇ000000001Ç055Ç2014 04 24 00 00 00PMÇ
