Twitter uses wrong encoding?

Asked by markuhde

Something goes wrong with Twitter in the parsing of special characters like apostrophes, ' turns into â as seen in this example:

"Good students of @KaiminNews & @UMJSchool, enjoy winter break. I’m going to make your brain hurt starting next week. http://www.ronreason.com/pollner/ "

turns into:

"Good students of @KaiminNews & @UMJSchool, enjoy winter break. I’m going to make your brain hurt starting next week."

I'm not sure if this an issue in the character encoding used or what might be causing this, but it definitely looks bad.

This only happens when "Remove URLs" is selected, so it seems to be something in that.

Okay, in the bug I'll respond with that update tonight I've been away from this project for a couple of days.

Can you help with this problem?
