My application is reading a file which contains following data:
MENS HEALTH^\^@ P
while actual text should be
MENS HEALTH P
I have already replaced the '\u0000' but still "^\" is still remaining in the string. I am not sure what is code for this characters, so I can replace it.
When I open the file in intelliJ editor it's displayed as FS symbol.
Please suggest how I can eliminate this.
Thanks,

Rather than worry about what characters the junk consists of, remove everything that isn't what you want to keep:
str = str.replaceAll("[^\\w ] ", "");
This deletes any characters that are not word characters or spaces.

You can use a regular expression with String.replaceAll() to replace these characters.
Note that backslash has a special meaning and need to be escaped (with a backslash).
"my\\^@String".replaceAll("[\\\\^@]", "");
