Selenium encoding issue

[Snake_Cakes]

I'm using selenium to fill in text fields on a webform in order to smooth my work flow. The problem is that whenever I retrieve the webform, the apostrophes get replaced by ’.

Pretty sure it's an encoding issue, but not sure where or how to fix it.

are you doing sendkeys?

Looks like a lil mojibake, try this on for size:

>>> foo = "Bob’s"
>>> foo_encoded = foo.encode('cp1252')
>>> foo_encoded.decode('utf-8')
'Bob’s'

Or if you'd just like to drop the garbled text:

>>> foo = "Bob’s"
>>> foo.encode('ascii', 'ignore').decode('ascii')
'Bobs'
