I'm using the PEAR Crypt_Blowfish module. When I decrypt the encrypted string the result is the original plus some '\ufffd' bytes. How can I get rid of those extra bytes? I've tried both trim($x,'\ufffd') and trim($x,utf8_decode('\ufffd')). trim() is meant to remove chars from the beginning and ending of a string.
