 * We are still recovering from a few small things that were changed on our wp site
   that was severely hacked a few months ago. One of the lasting effects is that
   all of the special characters, such as $ or %, have been changed to ’. We could
   change them all manually but this would take a very long time as we have hundreds
   of pages. Is there a plugin or a way to search the text and change all of these
   automatically?

 * Your friendly neighbourhood text editor should have a search/replace function
   that you can use to speed up the work 🙂
