The Unicode tables say: 0027 ' APOSTROPHE [=E2=80=A6] =E2=80=A2 2019 =E2=80=99 is preferred for apostrophe 2019 =E2=80=99 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK =3D single comma quotation mark =E2=80=A2 this is the preferred character to use for apostrophe 02BC =CA=BC MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE =3D apostrophe =E2=80=A2 glottal stop, glottalization, ejective =E2=80=A2 many languages use this as a letter of their alphabets =E2=80=A2 used as a tone marker in Bodo, Dogri, and Maithili =E2=80=A2 2019 =E2=80=99 is the preferred character for a punctuation apost= rophe In English, the apostrophe is neither a glottal stop mark, nor a letter, nor a tone marker, so 02BC does not apply. 2019 is the correct code, although it is unfortunate that it is overloaded with a closing single quote.
