Default text to col with embedded mystery box

Hi,
Im trying to use the text to col function in excel and have hit a snag.
My source data looks like this:
"DEPT OF SPECIAL SERVICES –¡ 760 COOPER ST.–¡ AGAWAM MA 01001"
I think these little boxes are CR returns because when I paste it as is in
word it appears line under line.
When I do the text to columns feature and I choose OTHER as the seperator I
can't insert this little box. Even when I do a find replace it doesn't see it.
I want it so each cell a, b, c has the name, street address, city and state
etc.
I even tried doing a find replace to change the box to something else.
Any ideas?
