what kind of file is that? MS Word or something else? You need to know the format of that file.

If it's a word processor file, then I wonder if the word processor is not the best solution.....you could simply make two copies of the file and use the search and replace tool to delete the characters you don't want.

Otherwise, I assume that anything that is mixed characters like that is in unicode. I visualize operation on the actual byte values is some way.
