Punctuation in post/thread titles?

I apologize for the waste of time if this has been previously discussed, but I can’t find any previous threads on the subject.

A few months ago I seem to have lost the ability to use most punctuation (quotes, apostrophes, etc.) in post titles. They’re there when I’m writing, but disappear when I submit.

Is this a known issue?

In short, "straight" single and double quotation marks will appear in the title, while "curly" punctuation marks are not shown.
