Description
My home WiFi SSID is Varun's Network. First I used the WifiScan example from the Arduino IDE to see if the board is able to see my network and ensure that it is in range, which it is. Then I use the following code to connect the board to my WiFi. Unfortunately it doesn't work and the board keeps throwing a WiFi.status() of 1 (WL_NO_SSID_AVAIL). I changed my SSID to one without the ' character and it is able to connect without any issues.
#include<WiFi.h>
const char *ssid = "Varun's Network";
const char *password = "varunvarun";
void initWiFi() {
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi ");
Serial.print(ssid);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.print('.');
Serial.print(WiFi.status());
delay(1000);
}
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
initWiFi();
Serial.print("RRSI: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.RSSI());
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

Other Steps to Reproduce
I have checked for similar existing issues within this repo and outside, could not find anything with a solution. I want to be able to connect to networks with special characters because I can't control what people name their SSIDs.
