Is it just a (display) character or is it a control character? I'm not sure how
 that works with the CP437 codepage and variants, which define symbols for the
control character range (0 to 31). In CP437 character number 13 is a single
musical note, but it is used as a control character (carriage return).

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437#Character_set

Stripping these characters would be acceptable. If you convert to UTF-8 these
characters could be converted to (non-control) characters in UTF-8 (e.g. 0x266B
 for the musical note). In UTF-8 there are only control characters in the range
 0 to 31.

Is the linux console and ssh using the UTF-8 mode?
