Apostrophes (‘) are turning into inverted question marks ( ¿).

Apostrophes (‘) are turning into inverted question marks ( ¿).

I'm using JIRA v7.1.4 and writing text from a Windows 7 machine, an oracle database is being used at the backend. Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it ? 

Thanks

I guess you are using the wrong encoding. Make sure everything is configured for using UTF-8.
