It’s the HTML code for a single quote aka an apostrophe.

It has a malignant growth in its percent-encoding center - it’s pressing on a blood vessel.

I didn't ever find out why that happens like that but it's possible it has something to do with the way punctuation characters might be stored?

The funny character substitutions are the way that punctuation is modified to fit in a URL. A URL can’t have apostrophes in it. What is supposed to happen is that a website either percent-encodes things for making a link or deletes naughty characters, and just stores a string for the title of the post somewhere. What has happened here is that Kinja is taking the title of a post sometimes randomly and running it through percent-encoding. That... isn’t supposed to happen. Something is *very* wrong for it to be doing that.
