man pages are read with the man program. HTML is Not The Way. [c3 a2 e2 82 ac c3 a2 e2 82 ac e2 84 a2] is what you get when you start with U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK in UTF8, then misinterpret it as windows-1252 and convert it to UTF8 again. We were *so* unfortunate when we didn't have all these extra kinds of quotation marks. -- Alan Curry
