I have this plugboard for "series" in KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED:

Code:

{series:'re_group($,"([^.]+)\.","[[$]]: ")'}

I forgot exactly why I'm using the re_group.

Anyways, I have a fanfic that has some fancy unicode characters for some effect:

This is how it appears on the Kobo:

I'm guessing there's no real way for the Kobo to deal with this, so is there anything I can do on Calibre side without changing the series? Is there a way to strip out the Unicode without leaving behind the dash and I?
