The title doesn’t do this justice. As it goes on to say it’s not just apostrophes it’s practically everything outside the incredibly limited and non-inclusive range of 26 “ascii” letters. It’s bad enough that apparently no one can spell my name correctly but when my partner and family with letters such as ö or ł can almost never type their correct name it irritates me greatly. A few months ago at work I had to actually kick off at product managers and QA that these letters are not “special characters” in the same way ? or & are. In the end I had to refuse to implement the regex in the form validation and just said that it was done and that was the end of it. So incredibly dumb that peoples names are classified as “special characters” by some arbitrary set of rules people subscribe to.
