I'm guessing you're on mobile. Not sure why, but quotation marks don't work on the forums on mobile.

It's not just phones, it's just that for some reason Sylestia forums like to eat apostrophes half the time.

So, when you submit text into a database, you have to clean it or else people can do things like post...
DROP * ");
And then all of your database tables are deleted.
Part of said scrubbing is turning !@#$(*& into their ASCII codes... such as... ' becomes '.
Well, at some point since the forums were remade and now, some people have decided to start using new ASCII codes for things like " and ' - specifically I've noticed, it's Apple devices.
Well, the forums use a built in PHP scrubbing function that I guess probably hasn't been updated for whatever new shenanigans Apple and maybe others have started using. Thus - they're being scrubbed.
