Java - Replace special character in a String

Question

I have to replace a string whit special character like this: XY_Universit�-WWWWW-ZZZZZ in another one like: XY_Universita-WWWWW-ZZZZZ.

I tryed solutions like stringToReplace.replaceAll(".*Universit.*", "Universita"); but it replace all the string with the word ''Universita" and it isn't what i want.

Thanks in advance

.* eagerly matches. In any case I suspect the real question is really "How to map Unicode characters with accents to the English-letter equivalent?" eg. see stackoverflow.com/questions/18350798/… , stackoverflow.com/questions/3322152/… — user2864740

 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String exp = "XY_Universit�-WWWWW-ZZZZZ";
        exp = exp.replaceAll("Universit[^a]", "Universita");
        System.out.println(exp);
    }

Output

XY_Universita-WWWWW-ZZZZZ
