Is it the apostrophe/single quote in Hilbert’s?

Apparently so, how about:
this? (which does not enclose the URL parameter in double quotes).
Well, I’ll be jiggered.
Is there a way to post a link to a URL that contains an apostrophe?
Why yes there is. URLs recognize, for any character, a hexadecimal escape sequence, which is % followed by the hex ASCII value, which for an apostrophe is 27 (of course). So, replace ’ with %27 and that should do the trick:
Thanks Achernar!
Now, I know that modding the board software is out of the question, but I think I’m right in saying that there are built-in features to replace X with Y under given circumstances; does this have sufficient flexibility to convert ’ to %27 when it occurs within the parameter of a URL tag?
No.
Ah well; I suppose it’s not going to crop up all that much.
