Invalid character in field 'ace_primarytext': ' ', hexadecimal value 0x0C, is an invalid character.

I've got a Power Automate flow with a Cloud Convert Action Card that sent a .docx file to Cloud Convert and received back the document in .txt format.
 
The next Power Automate Action Card updates a text field in Dataverse record with the .txt that it received back in the previous step. 
 
The problem is the update errors out with the following message: Invalid character in field 'ace_primarytext': ' ', hexadecimal value 0x0C, is an invalid character. as shown below. 
 
What can I do to remove that invalid hexadecimal value so it is not present and won't be included in the insert.

    Hi
     
    Try this, and either do it as an expression IN the property space, or do it in a compose and then use the compose output in your property input
    As it seems to be an unprintable character do the following below:
    uriComponentToString(replace(uriComponent(yourTextHere), 'OxOC', ''))
