[QUOTE="Pony Pasture, post: 1649354, member: 347445"] Could the character sequence you're seeing be "â€™"? If so you have a character encoding error. This article, which helped me with a closely related issue, goes into pretty good detail. [url]https://askleo.com/why_do_i_get_odd_characters_instead_of_quotes_in_my_documents/[/url] [eta] Short version: Try turning off smart quotes when writing code rather than natural-language prose or verse. If you want typographic quotation marks (and use the right single quotation mark as an apostrophe), set your document's character encoding to Unicode for the broadest compatibility and remember not to use curly quotes in HTML code, only in displayable text. Hope this helps! [edit] Arrrgh, I didn't notice how old this post was. Guess the problem has been resolved one way or another by now. Sorry to bump such an old thread. [/QUOTE]
