    iPhone/safari and key substitution. (Weird characters)

    Every time I use an apostrophe or quotes it shows up as a question mark.

    Like this ?hello, I don?t think I?ve ever won?t it?s he?s crazy?.

    Yeah I get that too. Annoying.

      Well known problem, artifact of the migration to new servers.

      Seems to be associated with MySQL "collations" - see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0...set-mysql.html for more than you probably want to know.

      Nothing to do with iphone or safari.

      Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!

        Well, are we doing anything to address this? In my line of work we would have added a patch or possibly implemented some custom, platform-specific fix.

          Since the next step is to upgrade from VB3 to something else (VB5, I think), I would expect the collations issue to be addressed in that process.

              A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

              The Second Amendment makes us citizens, not subjects. All other enumerated rights are meaningless without gun rights.
