What's up with single quote (apostrophe) in names?

[Ol'' Peculier]

Hey, everyone.

Try as I will, I cannot get my communities alias to fully, accurately accept
the single quote. See my alias (Ol'' Peculier)? It's supposed to be (and has
been corrected SEVERAL times to be, "Ol' Peculier" (with one single quote
mark following the "L" in "Ol").

For some reason, the system adds another single quote to mine and makes it
look like I don't know the difference between it and the double quote (").

Any insights are appreciated.

Regards,
=Ol' Peculier=

?? Sorry about that! I was going to suggest using the reverse apostrophe
instead. It has a better name, but I don't know it<g>.
On my keyboard, it's shared with the tilde and is the extreme left, top
side of the keyboard, before the digit 1/!. I use it in my sigs; e.g. Pop`.

So for you it'd come out ol` Peculier . For grins, and to prove it
works, I just added it to my name so this should show as coming from
Poprivet` now. It's a standard keyboard character, in the lower 128, and so
shouldn't cause any problems anywhere on any system.
Your key location of course, may be different, though.

HTH,

Pop`
