[Go] odd characters in term names

[Jim Hu]

I've run into a bunch of odd characters before when I was converting  
the GO obo file and gene associations to XML for loading GONUTS.   
There used to be a bunch of SBML greek letters in some of the files.   
I also used to see curly quotes that were probably from things pasted  
in from Word.  Primes aren't so bad... the worst was a right arrow in  
a sugar chemical name.
