‘ “ é == ‘ “ é, but on what encoding/reference?

Question

I have a ColdFusion script that does:

<cfset content = replace(content,"&##147;","""","all")>

Which replaces &147; by ". Google understands this too, if you type ‘ “ é at its search box its transformed on the results page to ‘ “ é".

If I search for é on this HTML Entity Character Lookup page, it'll return é to me. But ‘ and “ doesn't return 145 and 147.

So the question is, what's the numeric reference, character encoding, or whatever else, is being used here by ColdFusion? Where can I see that 145 maps to ‘, 147 maps to “ and 233 maps to é?

Bonus thanks if someone provides a page listing these characters (since more are replaced on the script).

Edit: Havenard made me realize I was typing the wrong characters because my browser (Opera) was displaying them badly, so now I'm using Firefox to edit this question, and hopefully it'll be clear :)

Cheers,

If you are on Windows, you can use the CHARMAP.EXE to get those codes.

Html entities can represent symbols by it's numeric reference (like those you have and can see in the Character Map) or by an alias like &lt; for <, &gt; for >, &quot; for " etc.
