title: How Do I Remove a text Parenthesis Using JQuery?
body: <p>I have some auto-generated text that includes non-ascii encoded parentheses.  For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div&gt; Some text (these are the non-ascii encoded parenthesis).
  &lt;div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to get rid of the parenthesis.  I have the following, which I use elsewhere to clean out some html elements, but I can't get similar to work to remove actual text:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>     jQuery(document).ready(function(){jQuery(".block").find("p").remove()});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've found a few ideas around, but they deal with normal text.  Getting rid of a parenthesis is a challenge, as I'm not sure how to code the parenthesis so that jQuery understands it.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
