Apostrophes on iPhone

Tags: LA, Technical Site Stuff (All tags)

I have noticed a bunch of classifieds and blog posts lately with a weird issue where it displays symbols when the user typed an apostrophe. It also may show up when typing lower case "i" when it tries to autocorrect to "I" but displays "A" with a symbol instead. There may be other symbols affected, like quotation mark.

If you are experiencing this, it may be related to an iOS 11 known issue. Try updating the operating system to 11.1.1 or higher.

If that doesn't work, you can also use the setting change below to fix the issue on your Apple device:

Settings > General > Keyboards > turn off Smart Punctuation.

I think the issue with the apostrophe is an HX thing, not an apple thing.

If you haven’t updated iOS.... that will fix it.

It is a bug in iOS. They fixed it 2 or 3 updates ago (sometime in November)

But you never copy and paste, right? I was under the impression everything coming from your handle was completely original and free of plagiarism. All of your comments are original entries from The Great Chief to his HX people. Please do not tell me you have a lower born tribesman handling anything other than promotion. I was told it was just in the promotional department and only on holidays.

dblednmike, there may be a similar HX thing, but I confirmed with someone experiencing the issue that the setting change for keyboard smart punctuation fixed it on their iPhone, and they are now able to post correctly.

Burnsie, you must be Jewish since you're certainly not a Christian.

It happens with a cut/paste from a Micro$haft Word document. Nothing to do with Apple/iOS.

Cheers.

Fucking Tote arrives in Nepal and directly to Marian Ravenwood's bar...did you hear me? Marian's damn bar. And this fucking nazi starts throwing around demands, calling the esteemed Dr. Jones nefarious and generally acting like an asshole. Well you got more than you bargained for, because until Marian gets back her $5000 dollars, the esteemed Dr. Jones, Professor Emeritus of Archaeology at University CA Berkeley has a goddamn partner.

The picture discussed above is the greatest action / adventure movie ever made. I'll listen to the merits of other contenders that y'all might suggest to be superior. But be warned...I'm a bit of a movie expert.

If you are seeing this with copy/paste, it is probably because the source you are using has "smart quotes" or a setting on your computer or phone is set to autoreplace using smart quotes.

See if using Paste As -> Plain Text helps. Or paste into address bar of browser first and then re-copy and paste into HX post.

If still not working, Google your device, operating system and application settings for smart quotes and turn them off and it should work properly on HX.

On Mac platform, it is in many places:
Check that Safari -> Edit -> Substitutions -> Smart Quotes is NOT checked.
Check that System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text -> Smart Quotes is not checked.
Same for System Preferences -> Language -> Keyboard

For MS Office, see link below.

If you are concerned about Burnsie's ethnicity, his reservation apparently had a mohel on site, so he is both injun and kosher enough to marry your daughter.
