That may be the source of the problem.

Same problem; all I see is a single apostrophe.

My guess is that you're sending an m$ dumb[1] quote instead of a real
quote. What do you see if you view your message in hex?

Update; I went into an external editor and saw that what you had was
ô'ö, confirming my guess that it was m$ dumb quotes.

[1] M$ calls it smart quote, but using a nonstandard encoding for a
    common character is dumb.
