The solution using preg_replace function:

$arr = ['users' => ['name' => 'ASSOCIATION OF�CHIEFS OF USERS']];
$arr['users']['name'] = preg_replace("/[^\w [:punct:]]+/i", " ", $arr['users']['name']);

print_r($arr);

The output:

Array
(
    [users] => Array
        (
            [name] => ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF USERS
        )
)

Just use str_replace()

echo str_replace ("�", " ", "ASSOCIATION OF�CHIEFS OF USERS");
