After reading your post I tried that by typing it
in scratch buffer and pressing C-j however whatever
macro it created, it did not work when I came over
a word and pressed that character.

Then I tried to unset it by using global-unset-key
in a similar way, it didn't give any error but
when I press that key it beeps and doesn't do anything,
I have also tried using the interactive form 
M-x global-unset-key and give that character as a
parameter, but nothing changed :(

How can I unset and be able to use it as before?

BTW, my GNU Emacs is version 21.3.1

Thanks in advance.
