This a headline from the NZ Herald.

 

I sometimes see a question mark (?) instead of quote marks or an apostrophe (').

 

Other headlines seem OK.

Typically it's because they copy and pasted from Word or something with so-called "smart quotes" where the ASCII quote (") or apostrophe (') characters are swapped for Unicode slanted characters, and their content management system does not support Unicode.

It is latest version of Edge on W10.

 

I cannot find the web page now to try under Chrome.
