On thinking about this more, if you have one non-ASCII character ( a styled apostrophe)
and it being represented by two non-ASCII bytes, that is normally a sign that 
the file is actually encoded using UTF-8. 

Check if that entity has an encoding header saying "ISO-8859-1" by mistake,
and try removing it if it does (to force the use of UTF-8).
