Quotation Marks and Apostrophes in Quiz

Is it ok to use quotation marks and apostrophes in the quiz? My quotation marks and apostrophes are appearing as a series of six symbols when testing.

Ohh..yikes. What version? 1.4 or 1.5? 1.4 was notoriously bad at handlign special characters like quotes and things. I thought it eventually got worked out but maybe not? Also... are you cutting / pasting the values in the control panel? Sometimes MS Word and other word-processor programs do some strange things with special characters.

I did cut and paste the questions over. I am in version 1.4 and had typed the questions in Pages. I will retype them in and see if that solves the problem. Thank you! Your responsiveness is incredible!

I tried adding Quotes to some of the questions in my 1.5 iOS app, and they just don't show up. I don't see any signs of them in the configuration data either. Would I have to manually add some kind of ascii code for them in the config data? (") ?

LOL, so I added the ascii code for it ( &+quot) in the post above, and the forum seemed to like it. (First quotation mark I've seen in the forum so far!!)
