wget and special characters

Question

I am using wget locally to take a static snapshot of a small web app. When I do, the resulting html files come back with strange characters in place of quotation marks and apostrophes.

What can I do to avoid this behavior?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I would suggest trying with:

--restrict-file-names=nocontrol
