Also try by adding this in web.config file
```
 <add key="umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" value="false" /> 
```

Hi Manish.

I think what you have written is correct, but I've added the ´ sign just to sure that you are removing the right symbol.

However, when you add a new urlReplacing rule, all your existing URL:s will not automagically update, that would be super scary. Instead, you need to Save & Publish for your new Url to be generated.

So I added this to my umbraco.config file, under the requestHandler section:
```
<urlReplacing removeDoubleDashes="false" toAscii="false">
      <char org="'"></char>
      <char org="´"></char>
      <char org="`"></char>
    </urlReplacing>
```
And i got this url:
```
/about-johns/
```
See animation:

NOTE: I'm also using Umbraco 7.5

Best of luck to you Manish. Let me know how it goes or if you need anymore help.

Take care / Dennis
