It=E2=80=99s generally used (in Britain and in other places) instead of the more correct =E2=80=9Ctypographical=E2=80=9D apostrophe/right single quotat= ion mark because it=E2=80=99s more easily accessible on the standard computer keyboa= rd, not because it=E2=80=99s preferred. > The one you're using "=E2=80=99" is the Unicode RIGHT > QUOTATION MARK. No, it=E2=80=99s the U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK. > So, to Emacs you are closing quotes around "isn" and > putting a "t" straight after that. I realize that =E2=80=98=E2=80=99=E2=80=99 is seen as punctuation by Emacs,= which is true in some cases, when, for example, doing quoting in British English, for example, =E2=80=98this is a quote=E2=80=99 or when doing nested quoting in = American English, for example, =E2=80=9Cthis quote quotes =E2=80=98another quote=E2= =80=99=E2=80=9D, but it=E2=80=99s also sometimes a character that should be seen as part of a word. > As far as I know, if you want to use Unicode that would be "isn=CA=BCt" w= hich > is MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE.

No, that=E2=80=99s incorrect, please see, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Unicode for a description about the use of apostrophes and Unicode.
