You can turn this (exagerated):

“ “Myra Belle “Sally” Miller — the 195”8 Miss Arkans”as who said in 19”92 that she had ”had an affair with Clin”ton in 1983. ”She claimed” that she” had been ”warned no”t to go public by a Demo”cratic” Party official: “They knew that I went jogg”ing by myself and he couldn’t guar”antee what would happen to my pr”etty little legs.” “

Into this:

"Myra Belle "Sally" Miller -- the 1958 Miss Arkansas who said in 1992 that she had had an affair with Clinton in 1983. She claimed that she had been warned not to go public by a Democratic Party official: "They knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs."

Real easy here:

Replace smart quotes with regular straight quotes

From your link...

Replace smart quotes with regular straight quotes:

When I post HTML to a blog, I find that smart quotes don’t show up correctly, so this tool replaces smart quotes (and a few other entities) with regular quotes (or the regular entity). To use, paste the text containing the smart quotes in the top box, then hit convert and the converted text will appear in the lower box.

Headlines with UTF-8 are unreadable.

"Headlines with UTF-8 are unreadable."

This headline was supposed to be 1/2 unreadable.

You’re joking, right? Because, obviously, the point of the thread is how to avoid the strange special characters that show up on nearly every thread.

So why then were you complaining about the headline containing those special characters?

This is talking about Elizabeth Gracen, correct?

I thought she refused to shoot films in the US because of fear of his presidency? Or what is fear of Jones’ lawyers?

I must be even older. Because I have no idea what “interwebz” or “UTF-8” are, or mean.

After all the “techno-speak”, I’ll avoid the effort. I’d like to review the OP but, given the UTF-8 inclusion it is simply “tire-ing”.

My life is not diminished by this avoidance...it is the MainStreamMedia, after all.

Thanks. I suspect Jim&JohnRob are continuing to work on the issue. I trust them, implicitly.

Perhaps with Cosby in the news, more victims of Bill and Hillary will surface.

Well, this arrest just keeps everything (Bill Cosby/Bill Clinton) in the news, the comparisons are bound to pop up.

Sorry, I know how to do that and none of my posts have that problem. I was actually wondering if she was still talking about her turn with Wild Willie.

You must be one of those folks that are so intelligent that no one knows what you’re talking about.

Lol! No! Hillary’s an idiot. And a bit off her rocker. You just operate on another level. :)

Yes, we conservatives DO operate on another level...
equal to the US Constitution!

BTW, MaryJo Kopeckne was unavailable for comment on this thread, too.
