      Issue Summary

      When using a custom field of type Text (multi-line or single line) and adding apostrophes enclosing a URL, one of the apostrophes is converted to Unicode.

      This problem doesn't happen when using Wiki Renderer.

      Other special characters e.g. "`^|&[]() - don't cause the problem.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a custom field of type "Text Field (multi-line)" or "Text Field (single line)".
      2. Associate it with existing screens.
      3. Create a new issue and update the content of the new custom field text: 'https://atlassian.com'

      Expected Results

      The issue shows the field exactly as:

       'https://atlassian.com'

      Actual Results

      You will see one of the apostrophes converted to Unicode:

       'https://atlassian.com'

      Workaround

      Switch the custom field render to Wiki Renderer.
