How to remove high-ASCII characters from string like ®, ©, ™ in Java

Question

I want to detect and remove high-ASCII characters like ®, ©, ™ from a String in Java. Is there any open-source library that can do this?

Answer 1

I understand that you need to delete: ç,ã,Ã , but for everybody that need to convert ç,ã,Ã ---> c,a,A please have a look at this piece of code:

Example Code:

final String input = "Tĥïŝ ĩš â fůňķŷ Šťŕĭńġ";
System.out.println(
    Normalizer
        .normalize(input, Normalizer.Form.NFD)
        .replaceAll("[^\\p{ASCII}]", "")
);

Output:

This is a funky String
