Why is Secondlife changing the apostrophe symbol to the characters #226: when I try to post an event

[Drew McDunnough]

I just tried to post an event on the Secondlife web site.  Any conractions such I've, You'd, I'll, It's, changes once I save the event.  In each case it changes the text to appear as such , , . I#226;ve . . . You#226;d . . . I#226;ll.  Obviously this is a technical problem with the web site.  There's no sense in posting events until you fix the issue.  Please get back to me and let me know when the issue has been fixed.   Thank You

Nobody here is likely to get back to you.  We're all SL residents like you.  Lindens never come here.  If you think that you have discovered a bug in one of Linden Lab's systems, the proper way to report it is to submit a JIRA report >>>> https://jira.secondlife.com

Rolig's right, there's nothing we can do about this.

My guess is that one of the systems involved in the posting of events (it could be a local problem - something you can fix?) is using Windows-1252 instead of UTF-8 for character interpretation.

Check you're only pasting standard characters (e.g. by pasting from a plain text editor) or are using a standard English keyboard/localisation set in your Operating System. Especially, do not paste data from Microsoft Word.

Good luck!
