Formatting Problem

So I just checked my blog and all of a sudden all of my apostrophes have turned into question marks.

So: grandmother's becomes: grandmother?s and any conversation looks like

??Hello!??

It was fine yesterday, does anyone know what's up?

-H.

2 H'mm.

I haven't changed the software or database. Anyone else seeing anything odd?

3 I've seen that happen when importing text from Word or other word processors, when the ascii code is different for apostrophe than the standard (like curly quotes or foreign language fonts).

Were you trying to type some Swedish names and needed the extra alphabet letters?

4 Your blog looks fine to me. I bet it's the character encoding or font in your browser.

5 I don't understand-it does look fine now, but was wonky for the morning. And it was a regular post, no Swedish characters.

Huh.

Gremlins?
