Last Name with Apostrophe not handled correctly

    Importing user(from CSV without form)where last_name contains an apostrophe (example: “O’Brien”). When import is complete, any display of user’s last name (such as the user editor) is “O\’Brien.” Examining the database table, the name is also entered there as “O\’Brien.”

    Repeating import but using the form, last name as shown after loading CSV is also “O\’Brien”. Removing the backslash (“O’Brien”)results in name entered properly in database.

    WORKAROUND: Can edit the offending name either in user editor or by editing SQL records and manually remove backslash, which works OK if you’ve only got a small number of affected records. If importing a large list of Irish and Scotsmen, it can become a bit much. 🙂
