[FX.php List] Quotation marks & Unicode values !

[Joel Shapiro]

Hi Ankur

&8220; and ̶ are codes for 'curly' or 'smart' quotes.  I would  
guess that that's how you have them in FileMaker, so it seems the PHP  
is correctly translating them.

FYI- There's a preference in FileMaker to turn off smart quotes,  
which will keep new smart quotes from being entered.  However if you  
want to clean up your current data, you'll probably need to do use  
the Substitute function.

HTH,
-Joel
