Hi,

I'm using Java 1.6. How do I replace all instances of a character
whose int code resolves to 8217 with a UTF-8 apostrophe (e.g. "'")?

public class ReplaceQuote {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "-->\u8217<--";
System.out.println(s);
s = s.replaceAll("\u8217", "'");
System.out.println(s);
}
}

I suspect the OP was thinking of "RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK"
which is 8217 decimal, but 2019 hex.

Since the \u (in Java) is hex, we need
"\u2019" in the replacement pattern.

Thanks, switching to 2019 (RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK) worked great,
