I suspect the following:

Somebody has been using something like MSWORD and/or another "Text" - 
not ASCII-TEXT editor on source code.

There are a number of places in source code and config files that has 
had the apostrophe converted from its ASCII TEXT value to the Microsoft 
"Smart Quote" like thing. I'm sure you have seen how MS-Word will 
convert/fix quotes so they are matching left & right quotes.

For example - see the English contraction "can-apostrophe-t in some 
text, it has been converted to can\222t.

If one finds that there are actually 2 bytes there - the odds are, the 
text has been munged into UTF8 by some email program.

I suspect, the mess you are seeing is text being converted from 
"ascii-minus" to "em-dash" or "en-dash".

A quick specialized "grep" of the sources should show all other strange 
and unexpected values, I would expect "O-Stroke" (as that is how Oyvind 
spells his name, and I can't figure out how to type...) I'm sure there 
are others.
