This is not a windows 10 problem, it has recently started happening to me too on W8.1.

I find it mostly when I copy text from a FR post containing either single or double quotes, then paste the text into a reply. The preview shows the â€�‹œ junk and can be fixed by directly editing the reply.

In other words, the problem I've encountered seems to lie in the copying and pasting of single or double quotes.

I had the same problem this morning posting an article that orignated in Turkish but was translated to English. It had some totally different characters in the text.

Opening & closing quotes, accent marks, text with accent features added. It took manual editing to fix them all. I started with find/replace.

And I am running Debian Linux, so it is not a Windows problem.
