Strange apostrophe

Make sure the encoding for the page is correct.

Sometimes the web page does not correspond to the encoding it declares, or does not declare what encoding it is using.

Maybe your browser is interpreting as Unicode and the page is using Isolatin-9 or something.

In Safari, you can choose View->Text Encoding->...

I think Chrome is now lacking any easy way to adjust the encoding. Open the site in Safari, do View > Text Encoding and set it to unicode utf-8. If that doesn't fix it, provide the url and we can probably tell you how the site code is broken.

I just fired up Chrome (I don't use it often) and sure I can do View->Encoding.

My Chrome is probably not up to date, so are you saying they removed this recently?

Where are you seeing this? Is this text you typed that gets changed? In what application?

Does it also happen in a different user account?

Hello Ed,

That is an encoding problem. A word with a smart quote (’) is being interpreted as some other encoding. I can virtually guarantee that Windows is involved somehow.

Are you copying the word or typing it? If copying what app are you copying from? The ' is not encoded correctly. If you are copying from a HTML page the encoding of the page is not set to UTF-8.

The site's encoding is not correct if you are viewing this in a web browser. Contact the site web master and tell them to correct the pages encoding.

Both Safari and FireFox "can't find the server".

But Chrome can? That’s not normal. What is the url?
