 * My blog is about web development so I’m sharing a lot of php codes that I write,
   but the apostrophe is changing on me as I publish the article.
 * Example article here:
 * [http://www.crankberryblog.com/2009/php-image-verification-aka-captcha-basic](http://www.crankberryblog.com/2009/php-image-verification-aka-captcha-basic)
 * So I do my code in notepad in which I use ‘ and it copies perfectly fine into
   the writing box but it turns out ’ (I’m not sure if they’ll show up), which if
   you copy and paste the final code back into word it won’t work.
 * I’m always posting my code in HTML edit format and the charset is the default
   one by wordpress UTF-8. Anybody have any ideas what I made need to edit?

 * actually I pinned down to the plugin I’m using to highlight the code… its the
   Source Code syntax highlighting plugin: [http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/code_highlighter_plugin_for_wordpress/](http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/code_highlighter_plugin_for_wordpress/)
 * it mentions that
 * “In the OUTPUT there is a minor difference in that we use ‘'’ instead
    * of PHP’s‘'’
   for a single quote: this provides compatibility with”
 * but I tinkered with the code and nothing happened..
 * should this thread be moved elsewhere?

 * WordPress turns single and double quotes into “fancy” quotes that will not work
   in code. Here are the plugins I use for code and to de-fancy quotes:
