Yes, I see 0092 and also 0093 and 0094. >The correct fix would be to convince the document authors to use either >entities (‘ and ’) or the correct quote characters (refer >to the unicode charts for the exact character; I'm too lazy to check >this right now). Changing the content-type to charset=windows-1252 also seems to do it. Interestingly Firefox doens't have a problem with this. I suspect it's treating iso-8859-1 as windows1252, since either of those encodings display it properly. However, changing to iso8859-15 results in diamond-shaped characters.
