Parse errors...odd characters etc...

   / Parse errors...odd characters etc... #2  
I sometimes see that on my own posts. It seems to happen most when I include an attached or inserted photo with the text. It seems to happen most with Alt+code stuff like the degree symbol. If I go back in and edit out the jibberish and re-save, it goes away.

It is triggered by the apostrophe, something to do with newer smart phones.

This is it, everywhere there is an apostrophe:

Didn't do it when I tried from a computer on W10 and Chrome :

I've seen it in a lot of posts, but strange the way it showed up when you hit the "reply with quote" button.

I've seen these type of symbols/characters on posts ever since I joined TBN. I just assumed it was folks posting from cell phones and hitting random characters. Usually no problem - you can read right thru the weird characters and make sense of what is being said.

I saw them show up when I quoted someone else's post the other day, before I even did any editing. The characters were not present in the original post. Suggests to me it's a problem on the site.
