Hello Fellow FReepers, I have been posting several articles via their HTML source. I notice that apostrophes are not being rendered correctly after the article is posted. I see two square marks in the place of the apostrophes.
Does anybody notice the same weird thing?
Really? Gee, I never noticed.
No apostrophe is a catastrophe
I noticed you said “I have” instead of “I’ve”. Heads up move.
Here’s one
It’s ridiculous that this site can’t even render text properly. It’s been a problem for years.
Hey wait. That worked!
The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.
It’s been that way for a while. I just insert after the spell check and it works.
yup.
Huh â I have no â idea what â youâre talking â about.
RE: Really? Gee, I never noticed.
OK, could you kindly look at the first paragraph of the article in this post and tell me if you see any strange characters:

Here is what I am seeing in the second sentence of the first paragraph:
‘But in the data is where weâre able to locate and quantify or estimate much of the amount of election fraud which occurred in the 2020 election.’
RE: Here’s one
Is it in HTML?
It is when Ia copied source has a lot of special characters like an apostrophe and the formatting replaces them with a bunch of random code that look like French or Turkish letters.
Makes it hard to read some posts.
We should outlaw apostate apostrophes...................
Yes
I’ve noticed this recently, both with Firefox and Opera browsers (on Win10). I noticed this several (5?) years ago, to the point where it became so annoying that I created a userscript to manually tweak the punctuation and special characters, like accents.
The lonely apostrophe
several keys are messed up.. the @ is not where it was and its not just on FR.
