Solved my own problem.
I ran the script itself from the unix prompt and forced it's output to a
text file
I then viewed the text file and saw the actual wierd character. I then used
strtr to replace the wierd character with a single space.
Pretty simple and clean way to fix this.

Subject: strip out wierd characters in a string
Hi Guys,
I think that a string that I'm grabbing from a website was actually created
using ms-word. If I echo the string out, it has a question mark in it.
If you look at the website, the text is fine
ie"string some more text"
but when I grab it from the website, and then echo the string, I get.
"string? some more text"
I have tried doing this
echo str_replace("?", " ", $text);
but it still print's out the ?. I think it's because the string itself has a
wierd binary character in it or something.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Brent
