Answer 1

With something like

s.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9_ ]/g, "")

you can for example keep only alphabetic (a-zA-Z), numeric (0-9) underscores and spaces.

Some characters require to be specified with a backslash in front of them (for example ], -, / and the backslash itself).

You are however going to run into problems when your start deploying to an international audience, where "strange characters" are indeed the norm.
