# Apostrophe in Post Title causing errors

 * I have an apostrophe in the title of a post. When I preview it, the permalink
   looks ok (it removes the apostrophe). When I update the post and check the website,
   I get an error. The address has some strange characters where the apostrophe 
   was.
 * I can correct this by not using apostrophe’s in the title, but that would not
   look too good.

 * What characters are you seeing? %27 or something else? If it’s something else,
   yo may be using “curly quotes” which are the typesetting left and right versions.
   Not entirely compatible with browsers. I checked one of my posts that has a apos(
   plain ol’ single quote) in the title and it’s stripped, so don’t know right off
   what may be happening between your preview and publish that would change it; 
   other than the curly situation, above.

 * I aggregated an article and it looks like it is using something like “curly quotes”
   or some other strange apostrophe. I just have to go in and erase and retype the
   apostrophe or quote.
