This morning, I received a message forwarded to me. Where ever an
apostrophe should have appeared this combination of characters appeared
instead.

youâ?Tll

I think the word was to have been you'll. The exact same set of things
occurred in each contraction.

Can someone please explained what might be going on here?

Thank you very much.


If some international character set is in force, sometimes you will see
strange ASCII characters for a message composed with an English
character set. Could have been composed with another national character
set, or you could be reading standard U.S. English with another national
character set selected for display.

Thank you very much.

I take it to mean the international set is in force at the senders end.
All messages other than just this one appear properly?

Thanks again.
