java replacing multiple characters in a string including "\u00A2"

Question

I have a string with "Dollars" and "Cents" symbol in it. I want to remove them. I tried

string.replaceAll("[\"\\u00A2\" $]", "")

but its not working. What is the correct way to do it.

Answer 1

string = string.replaceAll("¢|\\$", "");

or

string = string.replaceAll("\\u00A2|\\$", "");

$ is a special character in regular expressions, so you have to escape it, unless it's in a character class.
