SED, syntax to replace crtl/Z 1

[Calator]

I have a file ending in crtl/Z. I need to remove this character from the file. How do I represent ^Z within the "replaced string" syntax of sed? This code needs to be part of a shell script:

sed 's/^Z representation here//' $MY_FILE_NAME

How about translate?

tr -d '\032' < $MY_FILE_NAME > tmp
mv tmp $MY_FILE_NAME

032 being the octal of decimal 26, which is ctrl-z
