When I manually set the encodings to Windows-1252 the apostrophes don't appear at all. This is odd because when I look at the page source it lists the encodings as Utf-8. And even that setting doesn't fix the apostrophes for other stories like http://www.fimfiction.net/story/78582/.
Sites aren't always good about forcing authors to upload to upload their content in the correct encoding. But these are two stories by different authors.

The exact mis-coding depends on what's around it. I do see "’" for http://www.fimfiction.net/story/78582/ (and Sombra’s for http://www.fimfiction.net/story/122954/)--but only if I force the encoding to Windows-1252 (ISO-8859-1 comes out slightly differently for 78582).

What's your OS? Do you use a US version or some other national localization?
