Answer 1

You can use the HEX method above, or you can also use the ASCII() function to determine the ASCII code of the character in question...

SELECT ASCII(SUBSTRING('  character string', 1, 1)) 
SELECT ASCII(SUBSTRING('  character string', 2, 1))

The select only returns 1 value for the character you specify. But it's helpful for determining which ASCII CHAR() value(s) you need to replace.
