I would like to replace the french letter Æ with the asci corresponding AE, but the method does not accept this. Is there another way?

How about:
myString.Replace("Æ", "AE");

It should be noted that you make use of double quotes, not single ones. Single ones stand for chars, double ones for strings.
Instead of string.Replace('Æ','AE'), use string.Replace("Æ", "AE").

This doesn't work?
string x = "ÆHELLO";
string y = x.Replace("Æ", "AE");

Just call .ToString() on your char:
var str = str.Replace('Æ'.ToString(), "AE");

That seems like a long way around to just putting in: "Æ". Am I missing something?

@Coding Gorilla, yes you're right. It's easier to use a string constant here :)

Ok, I'm one of those dumb US developers that doesn't worry about foreign characters, so I wasn't sure if there was something I didn't know. =)

This actually answers the question.Yes, it is easier to replace a string with another, but the question specified 'String.Replace char to string'. It may well be that the char is a const and cannot simply be changed to a string.
This should work since it is a valid Unicode character - are you sure you are re-assigning the string? strings are immutable so this is necessary:
string test = "Æblah";
test = test.Replace("Æ", "AE");//test is now "AEblah"
