Can you show us a URL? It might happen because of UTF-8 or htmlspecialchars() encoding, or maybe also because of your browser.

It seems to me that you entered a typographic quote as the title of your entries? Only characters within the default character set are allowed as entry titles, because else they get converted by the browser to HTML entities which are then turned into HTML entities by serendipity again - leading to "&#39" instead of "'". You can't use HTML in the entry title (because of portability and display safety reasons), so you'll have to edit your title and insert a simple "'" there...
