I've always seen this and just lived with it, but hope to find a resolution finally.
I see 
†in my note field on my iPod Touch 5 after I've edited a note field on the MAC desktop version. I think they replace a carriage return while editing a note on the desktop, then when I look from the mobile device I see 
â€.
The carriage return on the desktop version has to be accomplished with a Mac Control + Return, or Option + Return. The results on the mobile device looks like this example below with a partial sentence "carriage return" then the last sentence.
confusing.

Is there a different way I can get a end of line plus carriage return on the desktop that will translate to the same on the mobile?
Thanks.
