Handling non-translatable charcacters

Has anyone come up with an easy way of handling characters such as the "elongated" hyphen character so beloved by Microsoft?

Every so often the JSON payload that I pull from a web service includes characters like this (assumedly copy/pasted from a Word doc) and it causes the DATA-INTO (for example) to fail.  I can think of a number of possible ways to handle this but hate reinventing the wheel and I can't believe I'm the first to encounter it.

Changing the target fields to UTF-8 etc. to accommodate this is just not an option. 

Is anyone handling this?
