In what language does and – hash – three – nine – semicolon (') represent the apostrophe? I had some website data extracted in JSON format where some of the user comments had apostrophe which were replaced by '.
So, what representation it is? I can not even google it as Google searches for apostrophe and not for and – hash – three – nine – semicolon.
It’s HTML character references for encoding a character by its decimal code point
Look at the ASCII table here and you’ll see that 39 (hex 0x27, octal 47) is the code for apostrophe
