[SalesForce] Apostrophe in custom label not showing on Visualforce page

I'm using custom labels to display messages in a Visualforce page. The label contains an apostrophe that isn't displaying on the page. Can I get the apostrophe to display, or do I need to reword the label to take it out?

The label value is: "{0}" can't be interpreted as a true/false value. Please check the box if this field is true.

The relevant vf snippet is:

<apex:outputText value="{!$Label.Error_Invalid_Boolean}">
      <apex:param value="{!wrapper.affordableUnitInput}" />
</apex:outputText>

I've tried setting escape to false on the outputText and adding \ before the ' in the custom label. Neither of those worked.

Looks like you may just need to double up the quote in the label text.

"{0}" can''t be interpreted as a true/false value. Please check the box if this field is true.

If you want to make the exported result tidy, it's best to completely avoid VF constructs and use basic HTML. Here's an outline of an export that I've used in the past:

    <apex:page standardController="Object__c" extensions="anExtension"  showHeader="false" standardStylesheets="false" sidebar="false">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
    </head>

    <table>
  <tr>
    <apex:repeat value="{!$ObjectType.Object__c.FieldSets.FieldSetName}" var="f">
      <th>{!f.label}</th>
    </apex:repeat>
  </tr>

    <apex:repeat value="{!myList}" var="item">
      <tr>
        <apex:repeat value="{!$ObjectType.Object__c.FieldSets.FieldSetName}" var="f">
          <td>{!item[f]}</td>
        </apex:repeat>
      </tr>
    </apex:repeat>
</table>
</apex:page>

The standardStylesheets="false" solves the bit that you were asking for. You'll probably want the Content-Type tag in case you have any accented characters in your data. And by using raw HTML you don't get odd bits of VF tags hanging around.
