Quotation marks display as " in web pages, I'm using Unicode UTF-8 character encoding.
On many web pages, where a quotation mark character should appear, instead the page displays the text ". I believe this happens with other punctuation characters as well such as apostrophes although the text displayed in these other cases is different, of course. I'm guessing this is a problem with character encoding. I'm currently set to Unicode (UTF-8) encoding. Have tried several others without success.

Can you give a link as an example?
It is possible that the text was copied from an other source and that the & was HTML encoded a second time as & and appears as such in the page code.
If the HTML entity is used then the encoding shouldn't matter.
Here's a link where the problem occurs. Note the second line of the main body of text.

BTW, I never use IE, but I checked this site in IE and it shows the same problem, so maybe it is the page encoding after all rather than what I thought.
In any case, my thanks for your help and would appreciate any solution you can suggest.
Probably mis-posted my reply to your request. See post above.
