Word produces some strange characters - can I find out ascii code forthem?
I found that if you have a word such as "John's" in WORD, and you
replace the apostrophe by 2 apostrophes (you have do this using Search/ Replace) you don't end up with 2 regular apostrophes. You get 2 characters that look like apostrophes, but they are slanted in opposite directions. I think this is Microsoft Word's way of guessing what the user wants. (I have Word 2000). Unfortunately I have already pasted many word documents with this mistake into a sql server database. I need to correct them. So I need to do a replace of these special characters by real apostrophes. The problem is, I don't know what that ASCII code for these characters are. Maybe the aren't even ASCII, maybe they are Unicode. Is there any way to find out? Thanks, |
