I noticed that Quercusrobur was writing articles with lots of boxes in them, and changed them to apostrophes. So I wrote him a note on his talk page including a row of box characters (which I generated with "160 128 do i emit loop"; I have no way to type them). I just checked the page and all the boxes have been turned into question marks! So I have three questions:
1. How do people write articles with boxes?
2. The people who write articles with boxes don't see them as boxes. They see them as apostrophes, dashes, ellipses, etc. How do we explain to them how to avoid writing boxes?
3. What changed the boxes to question marks?
