Typographic quotes broken after editing in Sigil
I have several epub files created with standard western font encoding, that I have opened in Sigil to embed cover graphics. After saving them, I find that typographic quotes have been converted to ... I'm not sure what. Unicode?

For instance, a typographic apostrophe now appears as ’, an open double-quote as “ and a close double-quote as �?.

Does this make sense to anyone? How do I fix it?

(I've seen it before in other contexts, and expect it has something to do with a specified encoding, but I don't know what's wrong and how to fix it.)

Thanks for any help.
