• are you trying to add the characters to a word in a php file? – Androliyah Commented Mar 14, 2013 at 20:08
• No, I'm trying on themes option panel. Maybe this option panel does not sanitize special characters. – Tawhidul Islam Commented Mar 14, 2013 at 20:18
• Can you screenshot it? I cant picture your dillema. – Androliyah Commented Mar 14, 2013 at 20:20
• How do you save the options? Add the code to your question. – fuxia ♦ Commented Mar 14, 2013 at 20:28

Wordpress always adds slash before quotes as the first step in processing input. You should strip those slashes before saving data into the DB. use stripslashes for strings or stripslashes_deep in case you are handling arrays.

You need to escape the apostrophe yourself. Two ways to escape apostrophes is to do this:

It"'"s

Or this:

It\'s

If you do not escape them yourself, you likely end up with the problem you're having now. So try one of these methods in your options panel text box and see if that answers your question.
