To open a double quotation mark use the following sequence:

Either:
– U+00AB LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
– U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE [NBSP]

Or:
– U+00AB LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
– U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE [NNBSP]

To close a double quotation mark use the following sequence:

Either:
– U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE [NBSP]
– U+00BB RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK

Or:
– U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE [NNBSP]
– U+00BB RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK

This should be valid in all the countries you have listed.

If this is about second level citations or quotation marks, than: No, this is
wrong. There are different opinions about how second level quotation marks
should look like in French typography, but none of these opinions is about
using U+0027 APOSTROPHE. It might be either “like this” or ‹ like this ›, see
also
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillemet#Double_ou_triple_niveau_de_citation.
Also LibreOffice’s fr_FR.xml seems a little bit strange in this sense.

Anyway, for the normal apostrophe usage, always U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION
MARK is the right choise.
