How to input non-printing characters in mlterm

[Avraham Rosenberg]

Hi,
I need to get rid of a non-printing character in a Hebrew text originating
from a doc file converted with catdoc.
Receiving the output in vi, I can see that the offending character is xa0,
and I can delete it with :g/Ctrl-Vxa0/s///g, but, unlike in the C locale, in
the LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 locale, the same substitution does not work outside vim 
(with sed, for example).
How is it possible to do it?

Thanks, Avraham
