    Remove Invalid Characters in TEXT Column

    I have a table with a couple of TEXT columns. In one of them, there are
    characters that aren't supported by the application and don't seem to be
    able to display in the Query Analyzer either. I would like to:
    1) remove these characters. (at least one of them for instance, is a "smart
    quote" according to the application.
    2) prevent them from being inserted at the database level (some kind of
    a check constraint?) The application doesn't seem to check when it inserts,
    but blows up when it tries to read them.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Jer Smith
