Strange characters being displayed It’s

Strange stuff ahoy

[bateman_ap]

Today Firefox has started to display some text as funny characters, it is when I take text from a SQL database, display it using ASP. It will show something like:

It’s

This happens with ' - and foreign accented characters. The strange thing is IE displays it perfectly and Firefox used to until today. Anyone got any ideas whats up?

The first question is, did you change something?

Maybe this thread has some leads ...

Not a thing, thats the strange part!

Gotta wait until tomorrow to check Firefox at wrk see if it the same result but it is happening randomly on two of my sites

Will check the link, thanks

Hmmm, is now happening on IE at work as well as Firefox. Is baffling me. A searhc on google for ’ or "’" comes up with nothing as it seems to be ignoring them, any way of forcing it to search for this?

Try searching for +"’". That tells google that it must include what is quotated and -"’" does the opposite. :)
