Be sure to use the image upload field too
How do I do that? Very new to lemmy. Using Boost. Thanks in advance!
Embed the image using markdown: 
I don’t think Lemmy supports media fields in comments (though I’ve only skimmed the API, I could be wrong) just on posts. I usually use Postimages for hosting images for comments.
Idk but Boost has a button for adding pictures to comments.
That looks like the media endpoint in action, all right.

Seeing this actually sent a small wave of dread through my body
Wdym? flamingo_pinyata’s explaination was quite useful, I wish somebody had told me that long ago and it’s still going to let me save so much time.
When I see �, I just assume the user or another dev is using a non-standard keyboard, or my fonts aren’t up to date
When I see this shit, I lose all blood flow to the brain and then just collapse
Your Lemmy client appears to have a bug.

Good Ole Bobby tables.
That’s pretty funny! ���

Why is it that whenever something is spitting out junk data, those specific characters are involved?
� is used to represent an invalid character, so it makes sense that it’d appear often when bad data is being rendered (or good data is being rendered improperly).
Everything is 0s and 1s to a computer. What a pattern of 0s and 1s encodes is decided by people–often arbitrarily. Over the years there have been attempts to standardize encodings but, for legacy reasons, older encodings are still valid.
The 0s and 1s that encode ’ in UTF-8 (a standardized encoding) are the same 0s and 1s that encode ’ in CP-1252 (a legacy encoding).
The � symbol is shown when the 0s and 1s don’t encode anything of meaning.
’=e2 80 99(3 bytes)
’=e28099(3 separate bytes)Good to see it “spelt out” like that
Right single quote (’) in UTF-8 (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2019) has the same bytes as ’ in cp1252 (which is more or less “ASCII” if we’re doing ELI5). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252
Sometimes your keyboard or program’s settings will use right single quote for apostrophes instead of a normal apostrophe. ’ you might notice how this one is straight and not bent a certain way. This setting is often called smart quotes.

If you do this, you’re going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.
The special hell.
You are evil

What?
This is torture to do to a programmer…report people torturing others to the authorities
See you in hell
Junior dev: Oh no what is that symbol? Let me examine the code closely to find out
Senior dev: The form still works. Fuck you.

####3$3$$%^^~! NO CARRIERwow this is a good joke’ wonder if it’ll work
You’d need to put ’ (specifically) in place of a quotation mark. That is the cp1252 encoding of right single quote in utf 8.
“Wonder if it’ll work?”
This doesn’t makes any sense!
