Default Apostrophes in Title Tag?

Has anyone ever encoountered a problem with Google (or any other search engine) displaying apostrophes incorrectly? For whatever reason, the title tag of one of the pages, which deals with Martha's Vineyard, appears as "Martha’s Vineyard". Any ideas on this? I checked the source code and everything seems to be in order. My only other guess was that the person who made the changes copied directly from MSWord and pasted into a WYSIWYG - resulting in some type of formatting conflict. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks again, guys.

maybe a problem with the content encoding of the website, but otherwise you should be able to see the actual code for the website through any text editor and remove any strange codes that might be there.

I have never ran into this problem before. It would be very strange for google to read the font different than the font that's used. The cahed version of your site shows the error and yet viewing your site it's not there.

My assumption from seeing the cache like that seems to be that the person didn't realize they added the font in like that from whatever they used, All your other pages that say Martha's in them don't show the same. I say it's error on the webmasters part and not a google problem.

Just my opinion though

Default cached while working....

It could have gotten cached while he was working on it and it was changed....

I have actually had that happen to me quite often - It's pretty funny - I update my sites every day and sometimes see half of my changes.....

Got cached while working....
