My contract name has an apostrophe, and when deployed it shows on Etherscan as John Doe's Contract instead of, 'John Doe's Contract'.

I tried the UTF-8 \x27, and it also outputted '. I even tried converting to hex and using the unicode modifier, but it still renders as that. No luck. Are there any possible workarounds?

    Can you show an example of the contract code? Etherscan is a closed source block explorer so they can show whatever they want.

  • It might just be them. The string shows fine in Remix, and on the frontend. I emailed them. The code is simply a normal string. There's no code, it's just a string misformatted. I was wondering if it related maybe to Solidity 8 rules for string literals, but I think your instinct is correct. I will update the answer if they reply affirmatively. Other questions have had similar problems, but with resolutions. I tried all of those.

  • Nope, it definitely is their problem. Sigh.
