On the main page I have added {LINKDESCRIPTION[200]} to the toplist. However, when their is an apostrophe it shows a ? in a black triangle. It shows correctly in the listing and in the category, just not in the toplist.
I'm unable to duplicate the problem so far, it's handling fine with apostrophes for me in every scenario I can come up with, including in toplists where the cutoff character is an apostrophe.
Are you sure it's a regular typed apostrophe and not one of those MS Word style slightly different special character versions of an apostrophe?
Edit: I copied and pasted it and yes, it's some sort of special edition version of an apostrophe. Working on it.
I've added some code to remove partially-trimmed html entities from the end, which solves what I see. However that seems to be different from what you see. When I copy your text I find that it's using & r s q u o ; instead of ' and that can get chopped into &rsq or the like, but never into a question mark diamond.

Is the apostrophe the last character? That could mean the & # 3 7 ; code getting cut in the middle. Will run some tests.
