You were wondering why apostrophes turn into ’? There's your answer: the text was written with UTF-8 and read as Windows-1252. Why might this happen? Well, a lot of times, browsers try to be smart and detect a page's character encoding, and sometimes they mess up and pick Windows-1252 instead of UTF-8.
What character is ó?
Name: Latin Capital Letter A with Tilde
-------------------- ---------------------------------
UTF-16 Encoding: 0x00C3
UTF-32 Encoding: 0x000000C3
Lowercase Character: ã (U+00E3)
Decomposition: A (U+0041) - ◌̃ (U+0303)
Which character is Ã?
A with tilde (majuscule: Ã, minuscule: ã) is a letter of the Latin alphabet formed by addition of the tilde diacritic over the letter A. It is used in Portuguese, Guaraní, Kashubian, Taa, Aromanian, and Vietnamese.
Why does É become Ã?
The reason lies in the UTF-8 representation. Characters below or equal to 127 ( 0x7F ) are represented with 1 byte only, and this is equivalent to the ASCII value. “é” is therefore between 127 and 2027 (233), so it will be coded on 2 bytes. Therefore its UTF-8 representation is 11000011 10101001 .30 Apr 2010
What is the meaning of à ⠀?
It is a character encoding issue. Whom ever is sending the mail is using a character set that is not appropriate. View menu (Alt+V) > character encoding and select UTF-8 or unicode should see the correct display. It is a character encoding issue.20 Sept 2014
What type of encoding is UTF-8?
Unicode
What are characters â €?
If your database contains ’ , then it's your database that's messed up. Most probably the tables aren't configured to use UTF-8 . Instead, they use the database's default encoding, which varies depending on the configuration. If this is your issue, then usually just altering the table to use UTF-8 is sufficient.If your database contains ’ , then it's your database that's messed up.

UTF-8 requires 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits (one to four bytes) to encode a Unicode character, UTF-16 requires either 16 or 32 bits to encode a character, and UTF-32 always requires 32 bits to encode a character.https://en.wikipedia.org › Comparison_of_Unicode_encodingsComparison of Unicode encodings - Wikipedia .

What does a € mean?
The euro sign (€) is the currency sign used for the euro, the official currency of the eurozone and unilaterally adopted by Kosovo and Montenegro.
What is corrupted text called?
Mojibake (文字化け; IPA: [mod͡ʑibake]) is the garbled text that is the result of text being decoded using an unintended character encoding. The result is a systematic replacement of symbols with completely unrelated ones, often from a different writing system.
What is the last UTF-8 character?
The direct answer to your question is U+10FFFD, which is a user-defined character from the Supplementary Private Use Area B. It appears that U+10FFFE and U+10FFFF are not allowed, probably to avoid problems with UTF-32 or UTF-16 and byte-order marks, etc. Thanks Jonathan for actually answering the question.29 Sept 2009
