Why do apostrophes generate weird characters sometimes?
Sometimes when an apostrophe is added to a word, it will generate weird characters in it’s place. Why is that?

I’ve noticed that too. It seems to happen when you preview a PM and not in forum posts. Read your typing over carefully and skip the preview. I suspect it’ll stop happening.

Did you copy and paste?
It seems to happen when text is copied and pasted. It can be edited and stays correct.
It's weird.

Ampersands do it sometimes.

I just tried replying to posts and PM's, copying and pasting, replying with quotes on both Safari and Chrome and I couldn't duplicate the issue.
Very strange... Next time I see it happen, I'll copy and past the strange characters here and explain the circumstances.

I copied and pasted a link farther down in the post, but in this instance it did it in my thread title that I typed out.

It’s not unique to this forum. It happens a lot on a local forum that I’m a member of.
