We had an issue with unprintables when users pasted from Outlook into a green screen "Diary" entry. If there was an ellipsis (I recall some other weird things too),Outlook did not store it as three periods but it was its' own hex character.
I fixed it with a one-time batch scan/update of the table and a permanent fix by doing an edit right up front when they enter it. Fortunately, it was just one program that a jillion others called to do the diary entry.

Subject: users pasting hex '41' into char fields...
I guess either I am very rare to have this trouble, or I can't google
right....
we are getting a hex x'41' at the end of some of the character strings
users are pasting into green screen fields..
two questions: one) how do I properly fix this?
two) how do I practically fix this?
I see in the new ACS emulator there is a "Translation Table", But I wonder
if that is just for file transfer?!? I can't seem to get it to "convert
x41 to x40"...
