It was pasted in from a copy document i was given.... It was from openoffice but the original doc might have been word ;)
Excellent, i now get:

on the validator :)
Out of curiosity is there a way to safely convert characters like this. Working from copy documents is sometimes the only way i can remain sane. Is it a matter of ensuring the original document is itself using the right encoding?
I don't know of a sure-fire way to do this, though a new wash item might do the trick. When I am worried about weird MS Word issues and the like I will often cut and paste the text into a plain-text editor first which will usually convert everything.
