(The latter is not an "apostrophe", > to be exact, that character has a different name.) I'm talking about the ASCII apostrophe, 0x27. But I get the same result with RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (0x2019). My understanding is that the ICONV line should unify the two. I realize that this is really an OS question, not an Emacs question, and I appreciate you looking into it. Other hunspell consumers (Libreoffice, Firefox) don't have this problem, though, so it might be something Emacs wants to be aware of. Thanks! Eric
