var s = "This is a string that contains ¶, a special character.";
s = s.replace(/¶/g, "");

Yields:

"This is a string that contains , a special character."

This will remove all occurrences of the character. No jQuery necessary - just vanilla browser-provided JavaScript.

Some additional details are available at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace.

javascript replace function should work. If it isn't finding the character then try using the unicode or ansi equivalent.

jQuery isn't needed for this, you can achieve it by using native javascripts replace function:

var myString = "ABC¶DEFG"
alert(myString.replace("¶", ""))
