It was probably once he’s.
The byte sequence supplied by your page is c3 a2 e2 82 ac e2 84 a2. The encoding is UTF-8. So the characters represented are â € ™. It so happens that in the Windows character encoding the same character are represented by the bytes e2 80 99. However, in UTF-8 those bytes represent the right single quotation mark character.
To sum up when two of the machines involved in creating the page (yours, lj or the word counter) transacted with each other they didn't agree (or more likely one side agreed but didn't realise what it was signing up to) on what the bytes would mean; One side assumed windows and the other assumed UTF-8.
Thanks for that, I was hoping it was something like heron but then realised that as I don't have reason to mention herons, there was little likelihood that heron it heron would be heron. Heron that is. I wonder if this counter thing would also count comments I made when it makes lists of words I've typed?

Boring but true.

I'm sure some carefully considered heron experimentation could find out. Mushroom doesn't appear yet so I'd guess not.
