Sorter and character code

Hi,

e.g. creating a new markdown/plain text item via sorter, in the Body, the character code for :

’
APOSTROPHE
Unicode: U+0027, UTF-8: 27

is converted in :

‘
LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
Unicode: U+2018, UTF-8: E2 80 98

in the database the item name (automatic) remain LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

this does not happens directly filling sorter Name field

Are smart quotes enabled in the Sorter?

Hi,

a little problem again with quotes in sorter with automatic name:

Body Names Correct
'abc abc yes
!abc '!abc yes
'abc def 'abc def yes
'!abc def def no
5

It’s intentional that automatic naming skips certain things. How does a real world example look like in the last case?

I use quote and exlamation point as shortcut, they are parsed by smart rules and set correspondant metadata.

Anyway was just a little note about changement in behaviour from previous version.
