Interesting....I found anothers two. Damn!� No only those typographical quotes but also this '�' thing that Word puts I think when you type one '-' after another '-'. For example '--' it converts it to '�'� and that is 8211 ascii.

Then when you type '...' sometimes it converts it to '�'�� (they are not just 3 dots., they are smaller and nearer each other). This ascii is 8230

See here: http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm

When you put them in a Pier page, they are properly rendered. But, when you ask the ascii to those characters in pharo, they are >255 and they are out of range compared to "matchTable"

I'm confused what works and doesn't work. Copy/paste within Pharo with
normal or typographical quotes?

Normal work perfect. With typographical when I past it, the quotes are replaced by '?' and thus I see ?Muelle Almirante Storni?

sounds like two different bugs, the paste problem (if I understood you
correctly) and the search problem.

In addition, I did this tests in Windows (the rest was Linux) and in windows works perfect all the situations with both quotes.
