I need your help with something in Power Apps please. When I view information in SharePoint, I notice the system is adding some extra characters to one of the fields. I tried deleting and re-adding the field, but it didn’t fix the issue. Do you have a formula I can use in Power Apps to remove these extra characters please?

    The extra characters are HTML formatting codes.  You can remove them when you display that field by putting it inside the PlainText() function in Power Apps.
