I recently transcribed a simple conference agenda from what had been an MS-Word document. Among the odd symbols which I came across were three different types of apostrophes, a symbol meant to stand for "trademark" and something separating times such as 9:00 to 9:30 that I had never seen before. All of these symbols translated into unrecognizable braille things. I can't replicate them here because I don't know what print characters they actually were. Is it common practice in MS-Word for ordinary symbols such as apostrophe to be replaced by something else?
