This is only in a particular language, viz. English.

In German, e. g., traditional typography indeed draws this
distinction: the single quotation marks are U+201A and U+2018,
whilst the apostrophe is U+2019. I have found the same distinction
made in a book on Polish typography, and I have seen it applied
in Czech books.

Best wishes,
Otto Stolz
