Thank you

Hi @olivermorris
Could you share a amount of this information?
Thanks,

It could be either non-printable characters or unicode characters that aren't encodable in the active encoding. xEF could e.g. be an ï (letter i with diaeresis): http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/ef/index.htm
But without knowing the context it's hard to be certain.
You could try using an AttributeEncoder to see if that gives you the expected result.

Thanks for the help, an example below.
I had some more of a search around and after adding:String replacer and copying the black sections to replace they then were removed. As @david_r suggests I think they are just non printable characters.
All sorted, thanks
