✨Text Cleanup
Remove Non-ASCII Characters
Strip out emojis, symbols, and accented characters.
Explanation
Legacy systems often only support basic English characters (ASCII 0-127). This cleans data for those systems.
Examples
Special Chars
Input
Hello! 😀 café ©
Output
Hello! caf
Code Examples
JavaScript
const clean = input.replace(/[^\x00-\x7F]/g, '');💡 Tips
- Use before exporting to CSV for old Excel versions
- Helps prevent "broken character" symbols ()
- Consider replacing accented chars instead of just deleting them
⚠️ Common Pitfalls
- Deletes meaningful content in most non-English languages
