# Punctuation Problem

 * In recent days, when I create a new page in WP, that page will have punctuation
   problems when viewed after it’s created. For example,
    the apostrophe (‘) shows
   as a question mark (?). But when viewed in editing mode in the WP admin area,
   all the punctuation are correct.
 * An example can found [here](http://www.100bullets.com/index.php/?page_id=44)
 * This problem arose only a few days ago, so pages created prior to that don’t 
   have that problem.
 * Anybody know what’s wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 * I validated your page [here](http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A//www.100bullets.com/index.php/%3Fpage_id%3D44)
   and you have some tags with capital letters – all need to be lowercase in HTML(
   META NAME must be `meta name`). There’s a few other problems. All the images,
   meta tags and non-closing tags need to be made into self-closing tags:
 * `<img src="ball.gif" alt="pretty ball" />`
 * Clean these things up and some nested list errors and see if the problem persists.
 * It could be that you don’t have the right character code set, but one thing at
   a time.

 * Thanks! I’ll get down to it right away. But what is a **character code set**?
