The computer does nt understand the apostrophe instead it places a symbol similar to a question mark to cover up for the apostrophe,but to avoid this follow up these simple instructions if symptom persist seek help from B.gates the man behind this innovation kudos.Type the word in Word package.
save the file using the 'Save As' command instead of the 'Save' command in the 'File' drop down menu.At the bottom of the 'Save As' window,under the box where you type in the file name,there's a drop down menu that says 'Save as Type:Choose Text Only. (If you save it as a Word document you will get the question marks.)
Now here's the trick... Close the document and open it again! If you just save and then cut and paste into the webpage you'll still get the question marks. You have to close the file and then open it to actually be in plain text.

n thats what we call experts in IT

@ patosh,

your statement 'The computer does nt understand the apostrophe instead it places a symbol similar to a question mark to cover up for the apostrophe....' may not be accurate from the electronics point of view.

each and every character be it numerical or alphabetical is represented by a combination of binary numbers (0 or 1). Any letter or number that we type on the keyboard is encoded and transmitted into the microprocessor,as binary equivalents. unless the the two characters (the apostrophe and the quotation) have their binary representations interchanged in the SK servers i dont see the reason why they should be different from what we send from our PCs....just a thought.
