Sample Input: SG@%@sgs th? g#%@^@#$ chào^#^$#!abc35| _ sgs _35 hello world không gsg
Sample Output: SG%sgs th? g#%^#$ chào^#^$#!abc35 sgs 35 hello world không gsg

    class Program

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string inputString = "SG@%@sgs thể g#%@^@#$ chào^#^$#!abc35| _ sgs _35 hello world không gsg";

            string outputString = inputString.Replace("@", "").Replace("|", "").Replace("_", "");

            Console.WriteLine(inputString);
            Console.WriteLine(outputString);
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
