 Every ' (0x27) are replaced by ’ (0xe28099, &#8217) in wp-
 includes/formatting.php.

 This is very annoying.

 When I copy-paste a part of text from my blog to somewhere, in the best
 case I have the text I write using ' and the text I copied using ’ (which
 is inconsistent), but in the worst case, the site/tool where I paste the
 text doesn't manage correctly special characters, while it's just a quote
 (it should not be a special character) : I have to manually replace them
 every time I paste.

 The content of the comments is inconsistent too : I write something in an
 article or in a comment : "I'm ok". In database, it is written "I'm ok".
 When displaying, it is written "I’m ok".
 Someone quote (using copy-paste) what I wrote for commenting it, and it's
 written "I’m ok" in database (it's inconsistent).
