Strange whitespace hard to trim off

I have a record ( submitted by customer) as M123-1-9. When I count the length of it, it has 9 characters. I use - Select part , LENGTH(RTRIM(part)) p from ... to remove the whitespace off. However I still have 9 after the process. I have tried various chr() such as new-line, space, return character, none of them work. I tested with SUBSTR(part, 8,2) ||'*" and confirmed it to be a whitespace as 9 *. I just could not trim it off. Does anyone have a better suggestion?
