And exactly which Unicode glyph would be the "typographic apostrophe symbol"
that would be "correct"--and for which locale?
Only the 0x0027 is an APOSTROPHE and has its own Unicode glyph, everything else
requires a Unicode glyph be substituted--a single quote (opening or closing),
or other locale appropriate glyph--depending on locale.
We handle as quotes (single or double), or with Autocorrect disabled as
apostrophe (and use of 0x0027 as drawn fro the font in use for the paragraph).
To be precise what is required is additional editengine, or autocorrect, logic
to handle keyboard input of the Apostrophe keysym (0x0027) with more options
than as a single quotation (opening or closing). Likewise for the Quotation
Mark keysym (0x0021).
Can't do it now, but it is Not a Bug, so => Enhancement requiring dev effort.</pre>
