I have got a 'associated' error with the browser in Android.
If a web page in not available it will provide an ugly error message on android
(I get the text tomorrow) and the UI is frozen. I don't know. They could be
related...

Update: the error is because there are actually three codepoints. When I
decode them individually I get what came through on the list:
226 - 8364 - 339
Latin Small Letter A With Circumflex - Euro Sign - Latin Small Ligature Oe
Which still isn't a curly quote.
