> And I fully agree with footnote 2, why is an extended Unicode character being used in place of the apostrophe? Some reasons: > The Unicode character ’ (U+2019 right single quotation mark) is used for both a typographic apostrophe and a single right (closing) quotation mark.[1] This is due to the many fonts and character sets (such as CP1252) that unified the characters into a single code point, and the difficulty of software distinguishing which character is intended by a user's typing.[2] There are arguments that the typographic apostrophe should be a different code point, U+02BC modifier letter apostrophe.[3][better source needed] > The straight apostrophe ' (the "ASCII apostrophe", U+0027 ' apostrophe) is even more ambiguous, as it could also be intended as a left or right quotation mark, or a prime symbol. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_single_quotation_mark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_single_quotation_mark * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Unicode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Unicode
