    When sending a chat command to a player the format is:
    "say p:{entityId} '{msg}' "

    However, if the message contains apostrophes, the message is truncated. Is there any way to fix that?

    Maybe try
    \'
    instead for apostrophes used in message. Could work, not sure though, depends a bit on the code. :)

    I know how to escape them in code. It's how to escape them in the command itself given back to the game.
