Apostrophe versus Right Single Quotation Mark

I have a user who when posting his news messages, gets several garbage characters each time he uses an Apostrophe. When I type an apostrophe, it posts correctly.

I have tracked the issued down and figured out that he is getting a Right Single Quotation Mark character (U+2019) when he types his apostrophe key instead of the standard ASCII apostrophe (U+027).

Are there any suggestions on how to fix this issue so that XOOPS correctly interprets his right single quotation marks?

Try checking the keyboard settings in the operating system. The operating system generates the ASCII encoded character, not XOOPS.

I came across a Code_Snippit that might be adaptable to work in this case. Since it replaces a similar code with another.

Someone with programing experience may be able to tell you a similar fix for your circumstances.
