Thanks, guys!

I wanted to replace html entities from the 'content' field of a database table. I solved it by using the mysql REPLACE function. I didn't know it exists...

Thanks again!

In case your goal is to replace the Entity to it's character representation, you can also use

Example:

echo html_entity_decode('Å', ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'); // echoes Å

I'm assuming PHP since you say preg_replace(). You don't need to use regular expressions for this. You can simply use str_replace():

 $string = str_replace('Å', 'something else', $string);

Regular expressions are overkill for simple replacement operations like this.
