When I update in order to import the image, some of the spaces become “?”, and an accented letter changed to copyright I think.
The image does import just fine.You had requested a before and after sample:
Original:
Our analysis shows that chocolate (Theobroma cacao) was consumed by the Mokaya as early as 1900 BC and by pre-Olmec peoples as early as 1750 BC.Recently, research at the site of Puerto Escondido in northern Honduras has shown that by 1200-1100 BC inhabitants were consuming both liquid and solid chocolate foods.
The results of the present study provide direct evidence that the Mokaya people of the Pacific coast were processing and consuming liquid chocolate as early as 1900-1500 BC. In the Gulf Coast area, pre-Olmec people were consuming liquid chocolate by 1750 BC, suggesting that the later Olmec civilisation centered at the nearby site of San Lorenzo (1200-900 BC) did the same. These findings demonstrate that Mesoamerica had a very long, continuous history of chocolate preparation and consumption beginning with the first sedentary villages and continuing through historic and modern times.

Earliest evidence of domestication of the cacao plant dates to the Olmec culture from the Preclassic period.[7] The Olmecs used it for religious rituals or as a medicinal drink, with no recipes for personal use.
The Mayan people, by contrast, do leave some surviving writings about cacao which confirm the identification of the drink with the gods. The Dresden Codex specifies that it is the food of the rain deity Kon, the Madrid Codex that gods shed their blood on the cacao pods as part of its production.[8] The consumption of the chocolate drink is also depicted on pre-Hispanic vases. The Mayans seasoned their chocolate by mixing the roasted cacao seed paste into a drink with water, chile peppers and cornmeal, transferring the mixture repeatedly between pots until the top was covered with a thick foam.
The Dresden Codex, also known as the Codex Dresdensis, is a pre-Columbian Maya book of the eleventh or twelfth century of the Yucatecan Maya in Chichén Itzá.[1] This Maya codex is believed to be a copy of an original text of some three or four hundred years earlier.[2] It is the oldest book written in the Americas known to historians.[3] Of the hundreds of books that were used in Mesoamerica before the Spanish conquest, it is one of only 15 that have survived to the present day.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_Codex

1.) In the past, months ago, quotation marks turned to ?
That no longer occurs. Quotation marks remain ok.2.) Earlier this week, I thought it was only some spaces that turned to ?
Specifically where I edited and typed. But not cut/paste stuff.3.) But ? is also occurring in some cut/paste segments – in this case the wiki sample. The first segment of each sample is cut/paste from a site, the link is after the text.
