This is because smart quotes are being used in those places in the raw data. See https://github.com/louh/naics-api/blob/master/data/naics-2012.json#L410-L413. My suggestion would be to replace the smart quotes with regular quotes when this data is ingested so that all downstream consumers (such as the API) benefit.

Thanks. Generally I need to either automate the conversion process better or write down all the steps somewhere...
