I am having trouble getting the W3C Validator, to validate an XHTML page because it is saying that the code on lines 147-157 contained one or more bytes that the validator cannot interpret as utf-8. All that exists on these lines are...

<ul>
<li>‘Just Let Go’</li>
<li>‘Cloud’</li>
<li>‘Never Win’</li>
<li>‘A Kick In The Teeth’</li>
<li>‘Everything To Gain’</li>
<li>‘We Need A War’</li>
<li>‘Wednesday’</li>
<li>‘Happy’</li>
<li>‘Ritz 107’</li>
<li>‘All We Are’</li>
<li>‘Circle (Vision Creation New Sun)'</li>
</ul>

Please can anybody tell me anyway I can overcome this issue? Thanks.

<li>‘Everything To Gain’</li>
<li>‘We Need A War’</li>
<li>‘Wednesday’</li>
