Question Marks
 
I get these question mark like things instead of hyphens and certain punctuation on some of my web pages.

I have no idea why they are there instead of what's supposed to be.

I clearly did not type a question mark and am not sure why it would do this.

In IE it appears as ?, but in other browsers it shows up as a diamond with a question mark in it.

Can anyone tell me why this is? :confused:

They're either Unicode or unsupported Extended ASCII characters. You should use the HTML cross-browser equivalents. Google for "HTML character codes" or something and find out the escape strings - for example, "—" is the long hyphen, and """ is the double-quote.
