This was fixed in Unicode 2.1: that apostrophe is U+2019. The only
time U+02BC is used is in languages where ' is a *letter*.
See <http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr8.html#3.6 Apostrophe Semantics Errata>
So keyboards should only generate U+02BC when operating in
such languages; otherwise, U+2019 is the Right Thing.
