This old dog has learned a new trick keyboarding for #MissionAssist.
There are many types of Apostrophe, & even the descriptions are confusing.
In the screenshot we see that the apostrophe on your keyboard is coded as U+0027, but the note says that U+2019 is preferred for apostrophe.
On my #PCLinuxOS#Linux system running #KDE, to type U+2019 I use the Compose key:
<Multi_key> <greater> <apostrophe> : "?" U2019 # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
Mine is set to Right Alt on my US Keyboard.
I remember when one of the touted features of good word processors was called "smart quotes" where straight quotes ('…' and "…") were automatically replaced with curved quotes (‘…’ and “…”)
@RL_Dane I am typing my Bible text for MissionAssist in Notepadqq.
My display font is set to the supplied Charis SIL, which really helps when reading the characters.
@RL_Dane It's all good mate, now that I know how to type the character direct from my keyboard.
I did use Notepadqq's internal search and replace to fix some files I had already worked on.
You are right that sed would work great too.
