What's the problem?

a = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] * [0 1 0]’;

Precisely, what is the problem?

If it isn't the single quote that should be a ' instead of a ’, you will have to copy-paste the complete error message.

I have seen my computer sometimes want to swap a standard quote, in fact, do it without my ok. To fix that, I had to disable smart quotes.

It works fine, IF you use a valid character for '

a = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9] * [0 1 0]'
a =
   2
   5
   8

The character you used for transpose was:

+'’'
ans =
      8217

But the valid transpose operator has ascii code:

+''''
ans =
    39
