I've looked at where these characters originate and they come from two places. Formatted notes and citations or footnotes, etc..
In the short term (maybe long term) I can work around having formatted notes and I'm not sure if I have any control over the citations. I will need to keep my data in RM for the short term for compatibility with some other users but I will be moving data into FH using the GEDCOM interface so I can make use of the better features of FH. The control cods will not be a problem unless I am going to print something out and for those cases I can edit the GEDCOM file and eliminate those control characters before import into FH.
I think any plugins should be predicated on more than one user. I'm not sure why more people are not having this issue but for now I have a workaround.
