Can’t search for task containing an apostrophe because there’s characters different character codes for apostrophe

I'm not getting the same result in the web app. If I create a task titled You can't search this and then search for can't, it finds it fine.
Could it be that when you created the task you copied it from somewhere else and pasted it into the task description? If so, the original source was probably using a different apostrophe.
Or are you creating the task in one platform and then searching for it in another?
Either way, it's a good idea for those additional codes to be converted to something ambiguous so that any apostrophe can be searched by any other apostrophe. Another solution would be for RTM to automatically convert all task text to generic text, but some people use special characters intentionally.
Of course, you could also just search for a term that doesn't have an apostrophe.
