Apostrophe in email form renders as a square

I have an email form for an organization with an apostrophe in their title: LA's BEST. Their name is part of the standard email greeting. For example, Hello from LA's BEST.

My problem is that email programs like Hotmail turn the apostrophe into a square?

Any ideas on how to correctly code the apostrophe?

Thanks

Hi,

If you are using HTML email then you can use the HTML codes for the character.

In the case of an apostrophe ' which is a single quote. This would be placed as:
[html]
LA's
[/html]

Sorry for my beginner-ness, but what exactly do I type in between the A and s of "LA's".

Do I type...

'

or

(html4script)

Sorry for the confusion

Sorry, the code tags meant that it was translated as code and so didn't show. What you need is: &rsqo;

Sorry for the delayed reply - I've been on holiday.
