Comment (by wpdavis):

 I've noticed problems with other special characters, such as curly quotes
 (’).

 WordPress includes a curly single quote in this slug:
 http://bangordailynews.com/2011/07/26/news/bangor/umaine-student’s
 -graffiti-project-art-not-vandalism/

 When I paste it into a textbox it turns into a symbol:
 http://bangordailynews.com/2011/07/26/news/bangor/umaine-student%E2%80
 %99s-graffiti-project-art-not-vandalism/

 Seems to me curly quotes should be stripped out of slugs just like
 straight apostrophes and quotes.

 I can submit a patch if desired.
