Now, this is more of a question from someone who knows a little rather than an actual diagnosis, but could it be that there isn't a "Meta Charset" tag in the head defining it as "UTF-8" or "Unicode"? I don't understand why it would turn "'s" into "点퐐", but TA is one of the reasons I learned hot to use HTML entities throughout the years.

As a side note, the beauty of this gibberish in Korean is that while the ideogram does mean "dot" or "point", the syllable that comes in sequence means absolutely nothing whatsoever, and I couldn't find a single word with the syllable. So, should someone ever look it up again just for the hell of it, all 퐐 from hereinafter will be TA's to claim. This is us changing world culture. After the Pie Guy, and so much more, we are making contributions to languages most of us don't even speak.

Yup, I'm aware.

It has to do with the character encoding of the database and the site -- the newer format was created after TA came to be and the DB was not converted to support it. That said, with the increase of copy/paste from LLMs, it is something I will get done in July.
