Default how to replace an unrecognised character

I am importing data to Excel from a flat file - and the rows being imported
contain carraige returns. I can not remove these in the MS excel import
process and these then appear in the EXcel celss as what I believe is an
unrecognised character symbol - a ? inside a square.

I need to separate the contents of these celss based on this symbol but I
have not found a solution to do this. of the Text function I can use Clean
to remove the symbol but I then lose the ability to separate the contents at
the correect position.
