Users are able to add control characters (such as �) both via import and via inputting text into AtoM.
Expected Behavior
These characters should not be permitted since they're meant to be non-printable, and they create problems with generating XML (and finding aids which relies on EAD XML) since XML 1.0 prohibits non-printable control characters.
