This string which contains the encoding text of a zero-width space (<U+200B>) within it (part of a much larger string/character vector). I am trying to remove <U+200B> from within the string to '[#/volume]'

txv <- '[#/<U+200B>volume]' <br/>
txv  <- gsub(pattern = '<U+200B>',  replace = '', x = txv)

tried a few things including "\\<"+"U"+"\\+"+"200B"+"\\>"

txv <-str_replace(txv,'<U+200B>', '')

nothing seems to work
