The three characters are what are shown in some
documents and email in place of an apostrophe.
When I move my cursor over the word
canâ?Tt
JAWS speaks
c, a, n, a circumflex, question, upper case T, t.
So it is a combination of 3 symbols. Does this make sense?

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to get JAWS to treat â?T as an apostrophe
Hi all,
I tried pasting those symbols into the JAWS
pronunciation dictionary and told it to say
nothing when it saw them, and I tried telling
JAWS to treat those symbols as an apostrophe, but
no joy. They seem to occur more and more often
these days. I'm not sure, but I think it has
something to do with things like smart quotes in
Word, and it used to come from my friends who
have Macintosh computers, but now I see it a lot.
As an example, the word can't comes in as canâ?Tt, but not from everyone.
Ideas?
Betsy
