Hello all,
After submitting a review, apostrophes and quotation marks within the review change into new characters. For example, That�s becomes That’s. Editing doesn�t correct the issue.
Any suggestions as to why & how to fix? Thank you.

| That�ll be something in my code messing up the encoding or decoding of special characters. I�ll see if I can fix this over Christmas but in the meantime I usually fix these manually when processing reviews regardless. |

| It�s still happening. Tried to do without the apostrophe, but no one corrected it when approved. I�ve tried to correct the error after submitting but it still doesn�t help. I try not to submit reviews anymore with apostrophes. |

The problem is that many fonts have specially coded characters for punctuation. When using an apostrophe, you have to be sure to use the plain one and not the specially-coded ones.
"How do I do that?" you ask?
Well, if you are on a mobile phone, for example, linger on the apostrophe and you should get an option menu or several different apostrophe types; choose the plainest, most vertical one.
If you are on a desk/laptop, you need to find the plain apostrophe somewhere and copy/paste it or type it in as an ALT code (Alt-44), for Windows-based computers. I've found that Apple computers default to the plain apostrophe.
