DU is pretty verbatim, though after typing, in preview and post, some characters don't show in a title, or more fun, crash the web page upon preview/post, returning some nonsense (I forgot exactly what happened last time this happened).

I'd look for system setting for autocorrect or anticipation.

One of my keyboards does not input the apostrophe when I hit the key. If I used autocorrect, that might be messing things up. So check the apostrophe key.

I turned off all input correction and stuff goes in verbatim. Some substitutions were pretty embarrasing.
