I currently use this (as part of a larger "markup sweep" tag) to replace the common MS Word non-conforming characters: markupString = ReplaceList(markupString, "&##8216;,&##8217;,&##8220;,&##8221;,&##8230;,&##8211;,&##8212; ,&##8226;,&##8482;", "',',",",..., - , - ,-,™"); (That's: Left single quote, Right single quote, Left double quote, Right double quote, Ellipsis, En-dash, Em-dash, Bullet, and Trademark). This is used in conjunction with ezEdit where, if you paste from Word, the source that gets submitted seems to contain these decimal-code character entities for the non-conforming characters (e.g. ‘ for left single quote). Not sure if this would be the case with other text entry controls... Should be easy to adapt using Chr() with the equivalent ASCII codes. In short, I don't think there's a nice Regex - dig out a good reference table for character codes and do a straight series of Replaces.
