Default 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,
