Dan,
If this is in an outgoing e-mail notification from ARS, I would guess that the 
original quote character was copied and pasted into a Remedy field from a M$ 
application such as Word or Outlook.  The AutoCorrect feature in these 
applications will usually transform standard "straight" quote characters into 
the "curly" quote characters that are included in the extended Windows-1252 
character set (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252).  Quite an 
annoying feature IMHO...

The extra characters in the 0x80 to 0x9F range will usually appear as an 
unknown control character when viewed in the Remedy User Tool, and will usually 
appear as a "?" when they are rendered by the ARS E-mail Engine.

This site has info on how to disable or modify the AutoCorrect settings in M$ 
Office applications to prevent this from occurring:

I haven't attempted it, but I think it should also be possible to clean up the 
input into the Remedy fields using the REPLACE() function in a filter.

HTH,

Thomas
