Funny Characters In A TextBox

I have a regular textbox where users it appears have copied
and pasted data from our website -

What I'm seeing is that such characters such as a ' look very strange when viewed in a tpl - almost like a &upsih character reference sign but not quit.

If I take the same data and paste it in a VFE - since I have html clean turned on - it looks great -

Does anyone know therefore - if a textbox has some kind of clean element I can add to it's tag - or something I can do so that strange characters don't appear

Paste the content into notepad then copy it from notepad into your text field. That will strip all formatting and char coding.

That's fine for me to do - but some users will get very confused by that - I was hoping their was some tag - I wasn't aware of - that worked some kind of magic!

Yeah that approach is a pain in the #ss, but it's the only method I'm aware of.
