What is the ÿ character in UNIX?

I have a text file that I am importing from UNIX into SQL Server for a temporary statistical analysis. I can tell where the end of the record is by the ú character, but then for some records, I have a series of ÿ characters. However, it is only for certain records and I'm not sure what this would represent. It seems that I might have to stream this file into another file just to get rid of those characters. That is, unless they actually mean something.

Anybody know what this is?
