Something similar happened to me a while back. I was copying some code from a Mac to a remote Linux host. For some reason the Mac was using a thing called an “en dash” – which is slightly longer than a regular hyphen - and was really fucking frustrating to figure out.

Some mac apps have some quirks, the default note app was probably not meant for pasting code in, but when you do it changes the quotes and makes them all fancy. Drives me up the wall and there's nobody to blame but me.

I blame Steve Jobs.
