Will a misspelled name with symbols on my child's 90-day report affect future reports in Thailand?

I just got my kids 90 day report back in the mail and my daughters middle name is spelt wrong. It has an apostrophe (‘) in the middle of her name but the report has random symbols and numbers (') instead where the apostrophe should be. Will this be a problem for her future 90 days reports, especially if I want to do it online?
Answer summary
The issue of an incorrectly spelled middle name (displayed with symbols instead of an apostrophe) on a child's 90-day report is unlikely to create problems for future reports, particularly when filing online. The displayed symbols are related to computer language formatting and should not affect the official documentation.

I don't think that would be a problem. The #039 is Unicode (the language computers use to convert binary to text) for apostrophe, and the & is for HTML. I don't think the system is able to format the apostrophe symbol. I wouldn't worry about it.

As someone with an apostrophe in my name, I stopped using it years ago as it tended to screw up computers. Not nearly as much now as 30 years ago...but it can be an issue.

it is not as bad as it was years ago. apostrophe used to be treated as a tab. can not tell you how many times I went to check into a hotel and they said that they had me checking out that day. was easier to just not use it.

There's certain names and characters databases hate. Apostrophe is one, the name "Table" is another, or if someone is named "Null", that can also mess up a database as well.
