title: Removing special characters in a pandas dataframe
body: <p>I have found information on how this could be done, but nothing has worked for me. I am trying to replace the special character 'ð'. I imported my data from a csv file and I used encoding='latin1' or else I kept getting errors. However, a simple DF['Column'].str.replace('ð', '') will not do the trick. I also tried decoding and using the hex value for that character which was recommended on another post, but that still won't work for me. Help is very much appreciated, and I am willing to post code if necessary.</p>
