If you would like to remove \u.... like patterns then you can use this for example:
$string = preg_replace('/(\\\u....)+/',' ',$input);

This replaces it to spaces. If you would like to unescape them, this link (mentioned by perdeu) can help: stackoverflow.com/questions/8180920/…
You are most of the way there.
$stuff = "Hello\u00c2\u00a0World";
$newstuff = str_replace("\u00c2\u00a0"," ",$stuff);
you need to put the return from str_replace into a variable in order to do something with it later.

This should work
$str="Hello\u00c2\u00a0World";
echo str_replace("\u00c2\u00a0"," ",$str);

You may try this, taken from this answer
function replaceUnicode($str) {
return preg_replace_callback("/\\\\u00([0-9a-f]{2})/", function($m){ return chr(hexdec($m[1])); }, $str);
}
echo replaceUnicode("Hello\u00c2\u00a0World");
$string = str_replace(..);- working: codepad.org/qcCtedUr
