The funny thing here is that those are actually the correct Unicode codes for those chars, and should work fine on the web (though perhaps needing to be converted to HTML character entities rather than the actual chars). The ones that are apt to cause the most trouble, in my experience, are the Windows-1252 versions of those characters (especially since I've seen cases where software advertised the text it was giving me as ISO Latin-1 or even UTF-8, and STILL contained the Windows chars!): En-dash = 150 Em-dash = 151 Single "smart quotes" = 145, 146 Double "smart quotes" = 147, 148 (In Unicode, FWIW, that entire row of the character chart is just control codes, not printable characters.)
