mb_strpos and special characters

I have an interesting problem related to mb_strpos and special characters. Here is my code:

<?php
$string = "status=�http://www.bestbuy.com�";
$temp = mb_strpos($string,"�");
?>

In this case, mb_strpos is always returning false. I have tried adding 16 bit encoding like this:

$temp = mb_strpos($string,"�",0,"UTF-16");

and

$temp = mb_strpos($string,"�",0,"auto");

The string with the special characters are throughout my database and I'm trying to write a script that converts "�" to a single quote.

Any help is appreciated.
