As for the encoding, I don’t think I have ever changed the encoding on anything, ever. How can I troubleshoot this? It only does it with ” and ‘

The encoded character being displayed doesn’t correlate to a quote character. Are you cutting and pasting your entry text from a word processor by chance? The entry in question, go to the Edit page, cut and paste the contents from the custom field into this forum thread in a code block, please.
