Jeff's posts, for example, are a prime example of what

The Library has the drawings scanned but they aren’t posted just, yet. It’s in the next batch of stuff to post.
Since you haven't told us what or how you read the message, there is
limited help available.
When this type of problem appears it usually is related to the user
having the wrong character map in use. The computer sees the character
codes and displays the characters according to the map. Of course,
keyboards in Europe are different and have slightly different mapping.
You computer is interpreting the apostrophe as a series of alternate
characters for some reason. Check your character map (or keyboard
layout) settings.
