In the French Wikisource, several users reported an extremely annoying bug. When editing any new page from a book which has an OCR layer, a few characters are replaced by an HTML entity which is erroneous: * apostrophe: `&#39 ;` * semi-colon: `&#59 ;` * quotation mark: `&#34 ;` * maybe others? These entities are wrong at several levels: * obviously, there should not no space before the semi-colon * in French, we use the typesetter's apostrophe (’), not the typewriter apostrophe ('). * anyway, Unicode characters should be used For an example, see page 100 (or any page that has not been edited yet) in https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Livre:Conf%C3%A9rences_in%C3%A9dites_de_l%27Acad%C3%A9mie_royale_de_peinture_et_de_sculpture.djvu This bug appeared a couple of days ago, maybe on Oct. 14th. It is very annoying since these characters are very common in French. It occurs even when not being logged, hence it does not depend on personal preferences. Browsers tested: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome. Thank you.
