Summary:
Curly apostrophes such as ’ appear in the TestFlight iOS app as question marks.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an iOS app and upload a build to iTunes Connect.
2. Submit the app for TestFlight testing.
3. In the TestFlight description field, type some text that includes a curly apostrophe.
4. Invite testers to test the build.
5. Testers open the TestFlight app to download your new build.
6. Testers tap the app in the app (this is getting confusing) to see the description.

Expected Results:
The description is as I typed it.

Actual Results:
The curly apostrophe has been converted to a question mark (“?”).

Regression:
The curly apostrophes show up correctly in the App Store. They’re just wrong in the TestFlight app.

Notes:
I’m guessing it’s not just curly apostrophes. I would bet that curly quotes, characters with diacritical markings, unicode characters, and Emoji are all affected.
