Search and replace Carriage Returns CR in Data Bindings

How can I do a search and replace for this Carriage Return character?
'↵'

Here is a typical result in a Data Binding

N/S/F Wing + Liner + Trim ↵N/S/F Door + Foil + Trim ↵N/S/R Door + Foils ↵N/S/R Road Wheel + Tyre ↵Trims Clips and Sundries

I have tried this but doesn’t work

In PHP I can do this ('str_replace') which does work

<?php echo str_replace(array("\r\n\r\n", "\r\n", "\r", "\n", ","),"<br>",$_SESSION['for_PDF']['meth_replace']); ?>
