    A screenshot of the thing might be helpful.

    Is it a field (does it have a grey highlight)?

    Can you go to the left of it (by pressing home etc.) then press delete?

    I’ve been using Libre office exclusively for a few years and don’t remember encountering strange unremovable characters.

      No grey highlight

      Delete key didn’t work

        Check to see if they might be Bookmarks, or some other content organizer:

        View -> Navigator (F5)

        Check each category for what it could be, if you find it, right click and delete it.
