Error (10170) appears in Quartus II for certain lines in code for Quartus 9.1

Hello to anyone who is reading this thread. I'd like to know if there is anything wrong with this verilog code. I took this from one of the tutorials that I'm referring, but when I analyze this .v file Quartus keeps coming up with the Error (10170) on a few lines. The code is as attached (I couldn't copy and paste the code directly so I had to submit an attachment, sorry):

According to Quartus 9.1, the error appears on lines 20, 21, 24, 30, and 34

The error is something like this:

Error (10170): Verilog HDL syntax error at serial.v(30) near text "'"; expecting ";"

I can't quite figure what is the main problem, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You are using the wrong apostrophe in these lines where the error appears.

    Instead of: ’

    you have to use: '

    Thanks for pointing out the error. I'm obviously still a beginner on this language. There is another error but I think I know how to modify it to get it working.

    Thanks again
