Seeing strange character for apostrophe on wordpress based page, but only in Internet Explorer
I'm gettign this strange character instead of an apostrophe on a page that's powered by Wordpress, but only in Internet Explorer. Other browsers (chrome, firefox) display as the actual apostrophe.
’
Can somebody tell me what the problem is?
Here's the instance in question: http://cure.org/about/management-team/
You'll see under Dale Brantner, 4th staff member from the top, there in the first paragraph of his bio the word organizatio开发者_StackOverflow社区n's and that is the instance which in IE I'm getting the above symbol instead of an apostrophe.
I have tried both with the apostrophy character, and with the HTML character entity '
but both seem to yield this strange character string. Interestingly, I have noticed it on other wordpress powered blogs from time to time.
Also of note, this page is generated by a custom use of the links function in wordpress.
There's a known issue, you should use '
instead of '

What you are quoting (’
) almost always is due to an encoding problem, but I get '
in both IE 7 and 8.
This looks like an encoding error. Check that the character encoding settings are the same in both browsers.
It's best to use '
for apostrophes. It's weird, but the same will happen on YouTube when you input an apostrophe...sometimes. Just happened to me earlier when I posted a comment. When I searched '
on Google, it turns out it just translates to an apostrophe. So, in summary, use '
.
Try replacing the apostrophe with '
if it's still shows up weird it probably a corrupt font.
