Bad escape sequence in string error

Using your fantastic Q&A pages, love it. Going to buy premium very soon. However, since last update ‘m getting:
“Bad escape sequence in string”
errors in Google Search Console. The issue seems to be that your plugin started adding a / after every ‘, example:

‘there aren’t any’ becomes ‘there aren\’t any’ in the code that is seen in Google ,although I did not manually add the /.
Are you aware of this issue? It breaks the functionality and rich snippets stop appearing (which the point of all this).
I thought I let you know.
Sincerely,
Simon
