title: Single Quotes Converting to Special Characters using AWS CLI
body: <p>I am making SES Templates using the AWS CLI and having issues with single quotes converting to special characters when the emails are sent.  </p>
  
  <p>This also happens when doing a DynamoDB put item operation using the CLI when a string contains a single quote within it.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried backslashes, wrapping the quote in double quotes then escaping it etc.</p>
  
  <p>aws ses send-bulk-templated-email --cli-input-json file://test.json
  aws dynamodb put-item --table-name TABLE --item file://item.json</p>
  
  <p>Item/Test Example (snippets of the json):</p>
  
  <p>test: "SubjectPart":"Happy birthday! Get more involved in managing your healthcare now that you're 18"</p>
  
  <p>item:
  "S": "Now that you're 18"</p>
  
  <p>Output:</p>
  
  <p>Happy birthday! Get more involved in managing your healthcare now that youâ€™re 18</p>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <p>Now that youâ€™re 18</p>
  
  <p>Expected:</p>
  
  <p>Happy birthday! Get more involved in managing your healthcare now that you're 18</p>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <p>Now that you're 18</p>
