I would caution you to find out what the person/system that created 
the file (I'm sorry, I can't call it XML; it isn't) intended that 
character to mean. It this was intended to be meaningful, don't just 
remove it; replace it with an XML-legal way to express what the 
person/system creating the data wanted to express.

While it is possible that these are meaningless characters and can 
simply be removed it is, in my opinion, very bad practice to assume 
that anything you have problems with is meaningless and to simply 
throw it away.
