How to replace invalid XML character (fffe)

Summary:

Due to invalid characters in Purchase Requisition header description (mostly likely due to requestor copied and pasted content containing this invalid control character into the purchase requisition header description) the BIP report generation fails due to invalid XML character (fffe).  Have tried adding "REPLACE(DESCRIPTION, UNISTR('\FFFE'), ' ')" condition in the SQL query of the BIP report but it's not solving the issue.

Updating the purchase requisition header description through UI is no longer possible as the requisition has been converted to purchase order.  Is there a way to replace the invalid character for report generation?
