Remove all Unicode Control Characters and special control characters fast in C-Sharp

Here's how to remove all Unicode control characters from a string fast in C-Sharp, strictly speaking. 

However, you may consider Unicode Character 'RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE' (U+202E) notionally as a Control Character, but is official categorized as General Punctuation. 

In code example below isSpecialUnicodeCntrlChr() method removes right-to-left and left-to-right characters.

Take a look at these Unicode characters and decide what you consider a control character

updated to use Regex to properly remove all Unicode control characters.
