Looking for a value that contains some unique characters and changing of them

Hi everyone,

 

I have a dataset and I want to change some columns. Some of the values contains different value. For example in a text, there is "Ğ" but I wanna change it as a "G" but not in just one word in a whole column. Do you have any suggestions? 

 

For example; İf in my column There is any " Ý " I want to replace with "İ".

for replace you have to use replace with from and to character (Power query replace)
