For context, in the original post, this was the result:

Note that single-quotes %27 became %26%238242%3B which encodes ′ which is an HTML entity for U+2032 ′, i.e. smart quotes but broken all the way to hell and back.

Trying to recreate the weird smart quote conversion.

Edit: oh, it’s fine… maybe it’s a kbin issue?
