Which they are not.
' is \047, not \222
" is \042, not \223
\222 is ’
\223 is “
\224 is ”
The problem comes from the sender who indicates the wrong encoding for
their characters. Notably, from MS-Windows programs who announce
ISO-8859-1 encoding when they include WINDOWS-1252 characters.
You should complain to the senders and they should fill a bug report
with their software vendor.
