stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString is deprecated from ios 9

let decoded = yourString.stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(.URLHostAllowedCharacterSet())

Use the stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: method of NSString

like :

NSString *decoded = [yourString stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

Also to remove   use

[yourString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@" "];

You have to read the string as NSUTF8 encoded string and then pass the string to web view using "loadHTML" method mentioned in UIWebView.
Not only that, if you want to display special characters like copy right, double quotes etc or other language characters in the HTML, you have to use UTF8 encoding.
