It's a minor point, because technology often dictates that Navajo is
written with the ascii apostrophe, but U+02BD is what should be used if
Unicode capability is available. Unfortunately the web page referenced
is in fact miscoded in several ways, the author having replaced
anything not available in Latin-1 by something else. Slashed-l becomes
lh, vowel-ogonek becomes vowel-circumflex, vowels with two diacritics
(acute plus ogonek) are ignored, and glottal stop becomes apostrophe.
Two examples of correctly coded pages are:
