' and " are HTML entities - these are converted by web browsers
into ' and " respectively.

If you just want to print the literal characters, that's easy enough:

Response.Write """"

will print a single " (there are 4 " in that line, the two outer ones are
the string containers, the two inners generate the single " as doubling them
up inside a string turns them into a literal instead).

another example

Response.Write "<a href=""http://myurl.com/apage.asp"">This is a link</a>"

Notice how you just double up the quotation marks.

For an apostrophe you don't need to do anything special:

Response.Write "They're not here"

So what problem are you having with quotes and apostrophes?

From the original post: "my code using response.write replaces " character
with question
mark"

It's most likely a codepage problem. I've been holding back from replying to
this because Anthony typically has the most reliable advice for these
situations.
