Text Problem, .shx, can't add apostrophe

When adding text (.shx) to my design fusion 360 display's a question mark when I type an apostrophe. If I use a format other than .shx, it works fine.  I need to use .shx format, since I will be vcarving the text.  Any ideas as to the cause of this?

This screenshot shows the text on the left which has ? instead of '.  Compare to the editing popup where I enter the text.

Hi,

NOTE:
V-carve is not possible with single line (shx...) but is done between contours.

It works for me! Only guess might be what's your language setting?

language settings in Fusion is English.

 

I'm using Fusion on an apple mac.  Could there be any issues with this on the apple platform?

Well, I retyped the text and now it's working fine.  Go figure!

For those who may run into this problem, I think it has to do with copying text and pasting it in the edit text box.  The original text was copied into the text edit box and it created question marks from apostrophes.  When I type the text inside the text edit box it works fine.
