Describe the bug
If a game title has an apostrophe (and I imagine this will possibly include other similar characters) then when clicking into any of the links under the resources section of the OP, it drops the apostrophe in the google search along with everything after it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1: Go to any game that has an apostrophe in its title
2: Navigate to game forum page
3: Click any of the automatically generated links under the resources section of the initial post.
Example here: https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=10674

Example of a game page where this does not happen: https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=29692

Expected behavior
The google search results to display "gamefaqs", "wikipedia" etc followed by the full game name

Additional context
This looks to be caused by how the special characters are handled on site which google then drops if included in their search.
