@alex.panganiban.guild, the unicode character 0x8 represents a backspace: - backspace (u+0008) copy and paste - Unicode® symbol
It shows up within XML Generator’s template editor like so (see the pink highlighted period-like character before “Tove”):
Assuming you have direct access to the XML, the easiest way to remove it is most likely an external text editor. For instance, I can find and replace all occurrences of this character using TextWrangler and regex search:
If you wish to stay within the product, the SnapLogic Expression Language’s replace() String function can be used (although note that the backspace character will be invisible in the UI components within Mapper etc.):
