hydrurga on "Unwanted character entities in utf8"

Hi there,

I've noticed that single quotes (') entered in the text editor get converted to ’ in the final HTML output by Wordpress, despite wp-config.php containing the line define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');.

Does anybody know if I can easily find a way, preferably without hacking the core code, to have, for example in this case, single quotes in text to be converted to a relevant UTF8 character (’) instead?

Many thanks indeed.
