Stata will delete those happily if you find a way to tell it what to -drop-.
In this case, -ssc d asciiplot- by Nick Cox tells you which number to pass
to -char()- to check for the presence of the character:
*******
clear*
inp str10 mystrvar
"hello"
"goo¿d-bye"
"he¿lo"
"goo¿d-bye"
"hello"
"hello"
end
list, noo
drop if strpos(mystrvar, "`=char(191)'")!=0
list, noo
*******

Another question, stata could delete
all the row of a variable containing characters like
"¿", for example.
