Hi,

     I think you are using "cfdump" for displaying to browser.

     Please try cfoutput

Please try the following code

program’s.

<cfset testVar= "program&##146;s."><br />
<cfoutput>
    cfoutput #testVar#<br />
</cfoutput>
cfdump <cfdump var="#testVar#"><br />

Hope this will help you

That is an HTML character encoding for a closing "curly" quote that commonly comes from MS Word generated comments.

It is usually a desireable thing that somehow your content got properly encoded.  Usually this does not happen and people are posting queries to boards like this asking what their text has a bunch of squared or question marks instead of the quote/aposrophe they expected.

I don't know why you application is doing this.  It must be somewhere in your code.  But I can't tell.
