Python - Django remove unsafe character from string

Question

I am currently doing a search on my website with the following character :

q=increase%0B%0B

These two characters imply an error, and my search doesn't return anything. If I only search for increase, without the two lasts, the search works. Is it a way to make it html safe by removing all the unsafe characters as those ones ?

Thanks !

I eventually found the best solution to my problem. http://chase-seibert.github.io/blog/2011/05/20/stripping-control-characters-in-python.html

It allows to have a much more generic and elegant solution.
