Well I found ascii 13 mentioned in the dictionary, so I used _replace numtochar(13) with "" _ which did remove my mystery character. See also this reply by me from yesterday:

I can't find out what the char is, because chartonum fails with an error (Error description: Script: missing '"' after literal). When I paste that char into a LC field, it shows as a single line. If i paste the char into any other mac os x field (for example mail) it shows as a return character.
