I am working on a website for a competition. For some reason when I use an Apostrophe, as in "Welcome to the Minico TSA Chapter's homepage" it is replaced with a square. I have tried a few escape sequences, but it is still a square. The really weird part is that it is only a sqaure when returned by the AJAX, but if I visit the source page, then it is an apostraphe. The browser is IE 8 on windows 7.
Does anyone know how to make this work?
Thanks

it'll most likely be your character encoding your using on the site.
try changing it to UTF-8 |

Have you tried switching to some other codification such as UTF-8? |

Use the HTML entity instead of the apostrophe. That would be & rsquo; (without the space between the ampersand and the "rsquo;" part).
If you need to contact me, send me a PM. I will read and/or respond in time.

If you copied the words from a program like MS-Word there lies your problem. These programs use the stylized versions of the " and ' symbols. To be 100% certain there are no problems ensure the change all " and ' into the HTML code of them.

I think chess_rock, if I am not mistaken speaks Spanish or Portuguese as his first language, in Spanish they would probably say "codificaci๓n del documento" document encoding (literally it's encoding of the document). I imagine it's something similar in Portuguese.

Ah, damn, and here I thought I was mocking his spontaneous creation of words.
