$USE_CURLY_QUOTES = 1;

set this in an initialization file.


Also set the following

                       $USE_UTF=1;

OR execute the job with options such as:

latex2html -split 0 -html_version 4.0,latin1,unicode,utf8  myfile.tex

4.0 =  satisfy HTML 4.0  recommendations   (4.1  might work for  HTML 
4.01)
latin1 =  input encoding
unicode = use unicode code-points in the output
utf8 =  use byte-sequences, rather than entity numbers (or names)
             whenever appropriate.


The HTML headers should now include:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">
