Hi everyone,
I have tried finding out how to do this everywhere but I am coming up completely blank.
I have content coming into my site that I have no control over and it has this symbol • embedded in it. I really want to remove it and I can't see how.
Can anyone shed any light on it please?
Thanks in advance!

Hi pritaeas,
No I'm not using any lists. Basically I am wrapping content coming in from a CURL request in <p> tags and the • symbol is in the content.
I can't find a way to strip it with str_replace etc. Quite annoying.

If it is in the content, then there should be a way to delete it. Do you have a link to the offending page ?

OK I have to admit to being stupid on this one.
@leviathan185 while I was reading your comment it occurred to me that I was trying string replace while messing around with htmlentities as well. I hadn't actually tried str_replace simply using the character. I know stupid. And guess what. It worked.
Sorry for the oversight guys, thanks to everyone who posted.

Glad I was a help :-) @ I'm gonna live forever, or die trying.
