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.The same could be said of the apostrophe in French : not the ASCII value (U+0027) but U+2019 is what should be used if Unicode capability is available. Reality is there are a lot of pages with U+0027 (unfortunately).
Two examples of correctly coded pages are:Cheating, two subscribers to this list ;-)
