When pasting from an article on the web into an org-mode buffer, I
start with - 
"In today’s digital age, we are needing more and more passwords to
secure our data and our identity."
and its displayed in the buffer as -
"In todayâ\200\231s digital age, we are needing more and more passwords
to secure our data and our identity."

I'm using 'simpleclip' which allows me to use 'super-c
simpleclip-copy' as the keybinding.

In my .emacs I have -
(setq selection-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
with 'LANG=en_GB.UTF-8' being the first line in my locale settings. 

How do I get it please that it pastes correctly from the desktop
clipboard, and how do I get what is already pasted, and shows the
aberrant behaviour, corrected please?

Thanks
Sharon.
