Default How to delete a "return" character (a "box") in cell of imported d

When I download contact address information from Outlook to an XL file, many
times there appears a square 'box' character in the cell where either (a) a
comma would have been separating street from say, suite # in the same line or
(b) where a return would have been (street address <return city/state/zip)
in the address card (and sometimes more than one "box" for multiple
returns). I have tried to search and replace to change or delete the
character, but I am unable to grab it, and thus have to manually adjust each
cell. A daunting task with 4000+ entries....

The "box" character only appears in the formula field bar -- when viewing the
cell in the sheet, it appears as two vertical lines (like a double lower case
L).

What is this character called how do I get rid of it globally in the sheet
??? Thx
