Mac keyboard

Hi I have a mac keyboard (UK) and am using textedit set to unformatted to create my source.
Problem is when i use the apostrophe key i get error illegal character.
Compiling hello.pas
hello.pas(4,12) Fatal: illegal character "'?'" ($E2)
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Do I need to change keyboard settings in some way or is there a compiler option i should be setting.
As you may see this is my first attempt to get to grips with this compiler.

If your texteditor generates non standard textfiles, you can pass the encoding with -Cf.
Best is to configure your texteditor to generate utf8 source files, I assume that is default on OS X nowadays.

Have tried typing code in Lazarus window and copying in to pas file and it worked. Must be setting in TextEdit which says it produces plain text but doesn't, At least not how i have it set.
Checked and it is set to utf8 but did notice when i copied text file into lazarus to compare the apostrophe was slightly different. The TextEdit is a real apostrophe with tail while the one generated in lazarus is a plain superscript tick. I need a program to tell me what the binary code is for each char.

Use TextWrangler instead of TextEdit. It is a free plain text edit editor for programmers, much superior to TextEdit. I use it everyday, although I write most code directly in Lazarus.
Just a suggestion, I think you will like it.
Cheers,

Hi.
Maybe check the system wide setting in the keyboard system preferences. It could be that some automatic replacements from the Text panel cause this.
