<https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf>, entry for U+2019:
2019 ’ RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
= single comma quotation mark
• this is the preferred character to use for apostrophe
→ 0027 ' apostrophe
→ 02BC ʼ modifier letter apostrophe
→ 275C ❜ heavy single comma quotation mark ornament
(Yes, it’s unfortunate for word boundary algorithms.)
Also, <https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U02B0.pdf>:
02BC ʼ MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE
= apostrophe
• glottal stop, glottalization, ejective
• many languages use this as a letter of their alphabets
• used as a tone marker in Bodo, Dogri, and Maithili
• 2019 ’ is the preferred character for a punctuation apostrophe
→ 0027 ' apostrophe
→ 0313 ̓ combining comma above
→ 0315 ̕ combining comma above right
→ 055A ՚ armenian apostrophe
→ 07F4 ߴ nko high tone apostrophe
→ 1FBF ̓ greek psili
