For example:

L’Espunyola appears as L’∖Espunyola
Castell de l’Areny appears as Castell de l’∖Areny

(see screen captures attached)

How could I enter them?

there is no such thing as the apostrophe in HTML, the single quote character is used instead.

This: L

’

Espunyola

Should be: L

'

Espunyola

You can also use the html character code, which for single quote is : 

&#039;

So it would be L'Espunyola.

Let us know how you went.

Thanks

& # 3 9 ;
but without any spaces in between.

Saint-Jean-d’Aulps was entered as
Saint-Jean-d& # 3 9 ;Aulps
but without any spaces [if I do not use spaces here, my post will look like Paolo’s, you will not be able to see it.
