%e2%80%98 crap in URL slug

Hey, whenever a post is posted on my Wordpress blog, it gets a weird %e2%80%98 added in the URL link, like ‘Star Wars: Episode I’ Officially Set For 3D Re-Release In February 2012 turns to %e2%80%98star-wars-episode-i%e2%80%99-officially-set-for-3d-re-release-in-february-2012

What's a good way to fix that?

 

You can edit the permalink manually

 

update ur permalink structure under permalink setting - >

/%category%/%postname%/ OR /%postname%/

quick edit post which permalink slug u want to edit, select all then hit enter and review changes.

 

It's already set to /%postname%/

 

Are you on a free host? Most of them go obsessive-compulsive on PHP security and probably have something preventing ' from being in any URLs. Best thing you can do is contact them to turn it off, or just not use ' in your titles.

 

I'm on a VPS, will contacting my host help me?

 

Is it self managed? If so, your PHP installation is messed up, try reinstalling PHP.

 

Just double check, but from the look of it, the URL has been encoded to remove any unsafe characters from the URL...
take a look at http://php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php to get a better grasp on it
