Default Punctuation Boxes ?

Why are there boxes where punctuation marks used to be?

Not any when I look at it.

“Yeah well my car has a thinner windshield, harsh suspension, fewer options, and no sound mitigation…”. Hell, I’m surprised they had radio and heater.

Looking at Vettes in 2003 I test drove a Z, and it rode like a buck board. It was a little quicker, but not something I would drive daily. Ended up buying a vert, stuck 3.90’s in it and loved it. Didn’t miss that Z a bit, but it was an interesting concept as a track ready racer from the factory.
I should have mentioned that I'm using Chrome on a desktop computer.

The poster is using a marked-up ' that your browser is not displaying properly.

There is a difference between:

and
'

Both are apostrophes.

Using my own link above, I went back and now the boxes are gone and the apostrophes are there…. Same browser. Weird, huh?

I've seen it on some thread titles, but not very often.
