It's why one should never ever use Unicode, UTF-8 or "friendly HTML" codes for
any character that's in the single byte Extended ASCII set. It wastes space and
can foul up software that doesn't understand multi-byte character
representations. If you need left and right single or double quotes (just for
example) they're in extended ASCII. Every character for all the languages that
use mainly the "english" alphabet plus additional accented or odd characters is
in Extended ASCII, except one used in Norwegian.

Maybe it's in the web server then and how it outputs the html. What shows
up in the base HTML code that creates the page? A hyphen or a dash?
