Remove multiplication symbol (×) from URL

Question

Below is a URL in which multiplication symbol × is coming. It is not 'x'. I checked for its ascii value but was not able to find it. I only got how to create it (alt+158).
URL:
http://localhost:6000/SearchService/SearchService.svc/GetSearchResults?srchKeyword=test×projectId=2&user=3
I am creating this url in javascript. I tried replacing %C3%97 with empty string but it didn't worked. Kindly tell me how to remove it as i am getting incorrect result.

Answer 1

You can simply replace this character using String.prototype.replace :

 var url = "http://localhost:6000/SearchService/SearchService.svc/GetSearchResults?srchKeyword=test×projectId=2&user=3"; document.body.innerHTML += "<p>" + url + "</p>"; url = url.replace('×', ''); document.body.innerHTML += "<p>" + url + "</p>";

At the same time, it is a good idea to understand the reason of appearance of this character instead of handling the consequences.
