These things, be they a black diamond with a question mark inside, or a string of 3 or 4 odd keyboard characters, for some reason, replace a certain type of apostrophe and/or quotation mark. Although the black diamond thing is rare, the other happens quite often. If your apostrophe is like this one ( ‘ ) you should not have a problem. If it is the type that is slanted, it will likely be replaced by some weird symbols or the black diamond.

Below are examples of both types of apostrophe replacements. And it seems to only involve one type of apostrophe, the slanted one, as opposed to the perfectly vertical one ( ' ).
