title: How do I remove copyright and other non-ASCII characters from my Java string?
body: <p>I’m using Java 6 (not an option to upgrade at this time).  I have a Java string that contains the following value:</p>
  
  <pre><code>My Product Edition 2014©
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The last symbol is a copyright symbol (&copy;).  When this string outputs to my terminal (using bash on Mac 10.9.5), the copyright symbol renders as a question mark.</p>
  
  <p>I’d like to know how to remove all characters from my string that will render as question marks on my terminal.</p>
