query to find, then update characters in post titles & body

I changed the encoding of my forums from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. As a result, I'm finding a number of undesired characters in posts, such as "�" in place of a single quote (likely because it was initially input / copied as a right single quote).

Also, the HTML code for right single quote is displaying verbatim in some places rather than as a quote.

The attached screenshot shows an example of both instances (source post).

I'd like to run a query first to find all instances where these two issues occur (in post titles and post text). Then update all.

I've done some test queries, but am not having luck getting any results back.

Suggestions on the queries?

Thanks.
