simplest method is to use the search and replace method available in any common editor.
use a vi editor ( fastest)
or 
just a notepad ( slowest)

what kind of special characters?
still you can produce certain characters fromt the key board, like this

`&#9612;&#945; &#9689; &#9574; &#9608; &#9787; �

but would be a bit tiresome to map it.
try to cure it in cobol iteself

to replace the special characters, you no need to type it, just copy it & paste it in 'find&replace' window box. in fact, here am copied those characters and pasted here instead of searching for ascii number and all.
