There is not enough information in your post to even make it guess where
it comes from. In any case, I would suspect that this is related to the
web software or the client API and not SQL Server.
You can remove it with:
* UPDATE tbl
* SET * *col = substring(col, 1, len(col) - 1)
* WHERE *col like '%Â'

The way to see if SQL Server itself is generating this( which is
highly doubted under any /sp/build/QFE ) is to install client tool
and use query analyzer and update a row using another client machine
or from the application server.
If char is not present, then the application's parser or delimitor
functionality or the IOstream needs to be examined.
