How to remove '।' from a string in JavaScript or PHP?

Question

I have some string like "।।ॐम्।।" and I want to remove "।" from the String using either JavaScript or PHP. The string in UTF8 format.

I had tried something like

$str="।।ॐम्।।";

alert($str.replace(/।/g,''));

but । is not removing,output is same as input.In PHP I tried with str_replace() but no use.

Is there any way to do this?

       <?php

              header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

              $str=$_POST['arg'];

              $r=explode(" ",$str);

              echo "Before Replace -->  ".$r[6]."<br/>";

              $str1="।।ॐम्।।"; 

              $str1 = str_replace('।','',$str1);  

              $str2 = str_replace('।','',$r[6]); 

              echo "After Replace --><br/><br/> str1: ".$str1."         <br/>str2: ".$str2;  

              ?>

Not working. See the Output. enter image description here

Output:

Before Replace --> ।।ॐम्।।अथषड्विंशतिसूत्रप्रारंभः।।हरिःॐम्।।इ

After Replace -->

str1: ॐम्

str2: ।।ॐम्।।अथषड्विंशतिसूत्रप्रारंभः।।हरिःॐम्।।इ

Answer 1

Just use a simple trim() , if you're only expecting same character on both ends.

<?php

$string = '।।ॐम्।।';
echo trim($string,'।'); //ॐम्

Answer 2

Use this code for javascript

var str="।।ॐम्।।"; 
alert(str.replace(/।/g,''));

Use this code for PHP

<?php
$str="।।ॐम्।।"; 
$str = trim(str_replace("।","",$str));
echo $str;
?>

This works...

Answer 3

"।।ॐम्।।".replace(/[।]/g, ""); output ॐम्

Be careful ! '।' isn't a pipe '|'

This code may Help you:

$string = '।।ॐम्।।';
$newData = str_replace('|','',$string);
