HTML question
- Freaky control characters showing up in Firefox on Macs.
- They show up on nothing else -- not in Safari, not on PCs.
What the hell should I be looking for that will make this stop?

However, the default character set on English-language Windows systems is Windows-1252, which is almost like Latin-1 except that in some places where Latin-1 has control characters, Windows-1252 has curly quotes (“”), long dashes, and other visible characters. The Web is so full of pages that represent themselves as Latin-1 (or even ASCII) and are actually coded in Windows-1252 that some browsers have just thrown in the towel and treat all these pages as Windows-1252. grumble grumble grumble Microsoft hegemony grumble grumble.
(which of course may have nothing to do with the OP's problem.)
