There are odd characters coming up in alt text when I enter an apostrophe.
I enter my text. When I save the text and go back, the apostrophe is gone and it is replaced by #39;
We want to make sure that in the shop that people are seeing the apostrophe and not the #39;

Keep in mind that alt text is also used by blind people who use screen readers, so they should be easy to understand when read outloud.
