Hi @vladaurosh ,

That's by design as not to break SQL queries. I tried HTML encoding it, but it would require fixes in a lot of locations. Do you have a suggestion on a compromise? Maybe another character replacement?

Hey @jokob-sk
No worries than, it's not a big deal at all. I thought it was a bug since previously you could use apostrophe character.
This ticker can be closed.

@vladaurosh - actually I've found an apostrophe ’ character that can be used. Will be available in the next release.
