Thanks, Daniel.  Yes, that was stupid of me to not include the url.  
it is http://www.samharris.org/site/full_text/chapter-one/

I tried the utf-8 and windows-1252 encoding and then a bunch of 
others.  It's obviously trying to encode a single quote.  

Wiindows-1252 -- The young man’s parents
utf-8 -- The young man’s parents
iso-8852 -- The young manâ₏™s parents
iso-8859-15 -- The young manâ₏™s parents
