Knowing that your data is likely in UTF but that for lower numbers code points (below 256) it doesn't actually matter as it is standard ASCII assumes some level of knowledge too.
Examples:
replace(Filler,chr(3),'') WORKS
replace(Filler3::text,'') WRONG
You seem to know that "Fillter" is text so neither of these seems particularly useful. If you want to replace the string '3' in Filler with the empty string just write: replace(filler, '3', ''').
