hi,

this is a programming issue.

see the weird characters in this text:

**[size=2]Finally, just to show you we ain’t such a bad egg, enjoy a mystery bonus paper pack on us. Now, we’re not officially saying these papers are actually $100 bills, or uncut sheets of 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie cards, or pages from an unpublished Hemingway manuscript. But if you choose to believe that they might be, we’ll all be one step closer to putting this dark episode behind us.[/size]**

my question is what are these??

they look like they’re supposted to be apostrophes…

what character are they? ie ascii #.

thanks.
