You can use WordPress function wp_strip_all_tags()

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags( $string ),
  );

Or you can also use preg_replace() :

preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\-]/', '', $string);

You can use function:

sanitize_title( string $title, string $fallback_title = '', string $context = 'save' );
