dread questionmark disease
- The result of saving HTML from Microsoft Word or some other program
that uses the nonstandard Microsoft variant of Latin-1; the symptom is
that various of those nonstandard characters in positions 128-160 show
up as questionmarks. The usual culprit is the misnamed ‘smart quotes’
feature in Microsoft Word. For more details (and a program called
demoroniser that cleans up the mess) see http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/demoroniser/.
