There're some replace functions for multibyte strings:

mb_ereg_replace - Replace regular expression with multibyte support
mb_eregi_replace - Replace regular expression with multibyte support
ignoring case

In any case, I believe PHP doesn't really need to know whether it's a
two byte char or two single byte chars*. So maybe you specify the terms
as strings and you haven't saved your file as UTF-8 you the char in the
file is not the one you think you typed :-?

(*) This doesn't mean it'll work in _all_ cases
