Weird dash character in PHP
<p>I have a weird dash in my text, which isn't being detected in a <code>str_replace</code>.</p>

<p>Here is an example:</p>

<p><code>Sun: 10:00 – 3:00pm</code></p>

<p>I don't know if the dash will show up on here.. but when it is inserted into my table, it is like a square box with the characters <code>0096</code></p>

<p>It looks a lot like an <code>&amp;ndash;</code> - when viewing the source, there is no special characters, just the dash.</p>

<pre><code>str_replace('–', '', $var);
</code></pre>

<p>The above replace doesn't seem to catch it, has anyone else had this trouble before?</p>
