I would advise doing a search and replace for the corrected string on your current file (having backed it up). The reason is that the incorrectly encoded single quotes will display OK in body text, but not be interpreted correctly when used to quote attributes of widgets or HTML elements (for example). So you might still have some of the incorrectly encoded quotes without necessarily being aware.
