No, the autocorrect for en-US is set to U+2018 / U+2019 single, and U+201c /
U+201d. So "Don't" would change to "Don‘t".
But, while autocorrect is enabled by default, an autocorrection change to one
of the "decorative" quotation marks is not common in US English word processing
and U+0027, U+0022 suffices. But for some locales it is a very important
feature to assure correct punctuation, regardless of keyboard support--hence
the default autocorrect.
The autocorrect "Localized Options" tab's replacements facilitate that
support--at the loss of use the single or double quote while typing. If you
need the apostrophe, simply uncheck the autocorrect for the single quote.
But, I guess a case could be made to do that by default for language
localizations where a majority of users would benefit.</pre>
