The "d'arc" names in the search bar are shown like this:

It also happens when on anime/manga character pages.

Nvm, it's definitely there. But in general, you should know how MAL handles stuff like this:

Actually this was reported to the devs when the thread was made. I don't know when it will be fixed though, it probably has a low priority since it's not a major problem.

@Luna Got it! As long as it's been seen and reported.

Some places on the database have single quotation marks/apostrophes that appear as '''.

Character names and descriptions, for example.

E.g.:

Character name bugged:


But not on their entry:


Character info bugged:


Clean in some places:


Here's a nice one:

Also in some reviews - depending on the amount of apostrophes it can get too annoying to read, which is/can be a shame.
*darn, using my right hand is off-limits for a while. Typing with my left hand only is ... eww.*

Threads merged.
Unfortunately I still can't say when this gets fixed.

Can you give examples? I checked some reviews and it looked fine to me.

sorry, I did not bookmark them.

a quick look now I find reviews where double quotation marks and then some got bugged, but not single quotation/ apostrophes.

Those are all from 2007 or 2008:
https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=4272
https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=1331 (other reviews by same reviewer do not have this)
https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=730
https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=1418

but that typically does not get so bad it'd really get in the way, so I think I did come across review(s) where it was apostrophes/ single quotation marks.
Should I find one, I'll come back with it.

@Luna

here is an example of a review, from 2007 once again, where single quotation marks and lots of other characters come as HTML character entity references.
