Which is not included in Arial, Times New Roman or Courier New. So I
guess everyone else uses a regular apostrophe (U+0027), or "this is the
preferred character to use for apostrophe" (U+2019), or turned comma
(U+2018). They are less likely to pay attention to whatever Unicode
might say in some obscure place - although not in the character charts,
in which U+02BC is mentioned as a representation of glottal stop.
