What I don't understand is what stinking moron decided that other character
sets would use a different coding for the apostrophe character.  I get this
in Aristotle's emails (gibberish instead of '), and I get it all the time i=
n
Firefox on web sites, and it just doesn't make sense to me.  Really.  Did
you _have_ to use that coding for something else?  Where do you live?
