I agree, but the problem is much subtle. I have coverted a text from iso-8859-1 to utf-8 and the codecs have translated \x27 ( the iso apostrophe ) to \xe28099 in utf-8 ( or u'2019' in unicode code point notation ) So if convert an apostrophe to a "right single quotation mark" why not translate the "right single quotation mark" to "apostrophe" As I can see it works in one direction but not in the other -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
