 * Is there any way I can suppress WordPress’s behavior that converts straight quotes
   to curly quotes, (c) to the copyright symbol and so on? I mean, short of looking
   up the individual ASCII characters and doing it that way. Sometimes we actually
   need those characters exactly the way we wrote them.

 * Go to wp-includes/default-filters.php and right at the top (in 1.2.x, it’s wp-
   includes/vars.php and at the bottom) you’ll see a number of `add_filter()` calls
   using wptexturize; comment out (place two slashes before) those you don’t want
   to be affected:
 * `// add_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');`
