They must have introduced a new bug in the code that cleans up HTML or non-alphanumeric codes for post preview. Maybe it has to do with attempt to clear up recent malware alerts in some post which happened right before this problem turned up. The webmaster should check the new server code added or changed last few days.

These are HTML escape codes that are not part of the ASCII character set that FR uses. Nothing to worry about.

You just have to keep in mind that these strange characters (black diamond-question marks, or the string of 3 oddball characters seen in my post above) are replacing certain types of apostrophes and quotation marks. Not all types.

I got the same thing late last night it was on almost every thread with few exceptions, have not seen it thus far today, I don’t think it has anything to do with settings.

Happening here as well.
I finally got rid of the FR malware warnings by shutting off a security setting in Firefox.

“We are all gonna die!”

Yes we all will, at some point. The question is are we all Spiritually prepared? By the looks of your profile you are, and I am on my way...........sorry if I got a little Evangelical there, I know it’s not the subject of the thread. : )

Happening to me in Safari 9.0.1.

It’s not just replacing apostrophes. I see it in spots where it’s only taking the place of a space.

I don’t see it in replies, only in text that could have been copied and pasted from other websites.

What is your “Text Encoding” set on? Default or Uni-code, etc?

It does seem confined to text that has been copied and pasted.

Praise the Lord for your testimony and courage to make a stand!

I was referring to the painful squishy kind of death, but like you - I am so glad for the second birth. You’ve probably heard it said . . .

Born once, die twice . . . born twice, die once (and maybe not even once if we are fortunate enough to be here when the Lord returns for His church).
