You do not say which Language or operating system or version of LibO you are using, however in general terms I hope the explanation below helps.
LibreOffice only uses Unicode, that is to say UTF-8 in your terms. The characters you are seeing are actually Unicode. This provides support for about 108,000 characters. US-ASCII uses the first 127 of these. So, if you go to INSERT > SPECIAL CHARACTERS the first (decimal) 127 or (hexadecimal) U+7F characters are the same. The double left and right quotation marks are down in about U+201C. The double quotation is (decimal) 34 U+22 is also available in US-ASCII. If your particular problem is DOUBLE QUOTATION Marks, the variation is Country / Language dependant. But you will find assistance using the HELP > QUOTATION MARKS. You need to turn off the AUTOCORRECT OPTION if it does not do what you want. I quote from the HELP PANEL. To Stop Replacing Quotation Marks 1. Choose Tools - AutoCorrect - AutoCorrect Options. 2. Click the Localised Options tab 3. Unmark the "Replace" check box(es). -- Sent from: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Users-f1639498.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
