<p>So I'm not sure if this is just me, but all apostrophes I include in my essays are converted into a series of �'s once I save the page. Is anyone else having this issue? Any way around this?</p>
<p>I'm using Chrome, though I don't see why that would matter.</p>
<p>Are you copy/pasting from Word?</p>
<p>To fix it, either preview your application using the PDF at the end of each section, and fix them manually, or you can copy/paste from Word into a plain-text editor, and then transfer that into the application.</p>
<p>This was addressed in recent blog posts.</p>
<p>I had the same problem when I applied. Like wiseguy said, if you’re copy pasting just make sure to type in an apostrophe.</p>
<p>FYI—Obviously the same applies for any other rich text elements (i.e. em dashes, quotation marks, etc.), so be on the lookout for those as well.</p>
<p>I was actually working partially in Word and partially in Notepad++. The bits that were pasted from Word into Notepad++, then into the form, were the ones that had issues. Interesting.</p>
<p>Anyway, thanks for your help. Issue successfully resolved.</p>
