Recently it seems like a lot of text is rendering as a question mark instead of whatever ASCII character it's supposed to be.  I've see it a lot with single quotes, but also several symbols that I suppose are multi-byte UTF-8 codes or some such thing.   I've seen a lot of the improperly rendered quotes just in the past few days.  I think this is usually pasted text.  Anyone know what's going on?  Quotes are part of the original one byte ASCII code set, so we've had half a century to get this sorted out.  It's hard to believe that something so basic is still a problem in the modern world.  I guess I'm missing something...
