Find what this square box really is, and then RTRIM that character, such as

SQL> select dump('abcd') from dual;

DUMP('ABCD')
--------------------------
Typ=96 Len=4: 97,98,99,100

SQL> select rtrim('abcd', chr(100)) from dual;

RTR
---
abc

SQL>

Or, try with SUBSTR, such as

SQL> select substr('abcd', 1, length('abcd') - 1) from dual;

SUB
---
abc

SQL>
