   and it's making my clients really really mad. Took me a week to figure out what it was.

   Any copy, wether in the the_title or the_content, or even the_excerpt... when cached via WP-Super Cache, it causes odd characters. It must be a recent thing. I've recently switched to hyper-cache and db-reloaded-cache-fix. Using those, or having no cache resolves the issue.

   Try the development version, http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-super-cache.zip, as that fixes this by adding a new option to the advanced settings page (Remove UTF8/blog charset support from .htaccess file. Only necessary if you see odd characters or punctuation looks incorrect. Requires rewrite rules update.)

   In your case you would not check that option. Make sure you update your .htaccess rules as it needs to add the UTF8 rules back in.

   Thanks for the link, glad this is getting addressed. I have to do this across quite a few websites, so I'll just wait until a new version has been committed, so I can upgrade from within wordpress itself.

   I've been seeing this in FireFox. Will try the dev version.
   Thanks for posting this.

   Yes, that appears to have fixed it!! Thanks Donncha.

   Strange thing, whilst this solves the problem on posts (and probably pages - not checked), it's still visible on archives / pages with excerpts ?

   Any advice on how to get rid of them from there ?

   I'm afraid not. The same UTF code should apply to all pages. I'm not even sure how to debug that tbh.

   OK. Well, I'm getting varying results now that I've begun checking sites against IE also. It seems that it resolves it with one browser and then causes a problem elsewhere with another.

    I'm still getting issues in IE9. I may have to stop using this plugin altogether because all of my clients are hitting me with "fix these apostrophes" requests every other day. Can you just bring it back to it's former glory.. version 0.9?

    guerrilladigital - does your .htaccess file have this bit of code?
    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

    If not, add it in somewhere at the top.
