Hi!

I'm looking at entry 1922711 in the alternatenames table (a version of At Tai'if in Saudi Arabia). It says the language is English, but there's an odd character in it. I've tried everything I can think of to work out how to translate it, but I can't.

Am I having problems with my character set code, or is it at all possible there's a problem with the data?

Many thanks in advance!

Tony.

Hi Tony

It looks like a strange apostrophe. I have have changed it into a normal apostrophe.

Best
