unusual character instead of an apostrophe

I'm noticing an unusual character appearing in my playlist within Exile where an apostrophe should be. How can I fix it?

Gandering a guess, but maybe you don't have the right fonts installed?

That says character 0x92, a "right single smart-quote". If you change the tag of this file to have a regular apostrophe, it'll work. Or, as the previous poster says, you can use a font that has such a thing, such as DejaVu Sans.
