--- Comment #6 from László Németh <nemeth at numbertext.org> ---
(U+2019) RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK is the preferred character to use also for
apostrophe, so this is the real apostrophe (i.e. the typographical or
traditional one, which is used for books etc. in printing: sometimes it's not
curved, but more straight, depending on the design of the font face):

While the (ASCII/typewriter) APOSTROPHE is not the preferred character for
apostrophe, despite its Unicode name:

APOSTROPHE
= apostrophe-quote (1.0)
= single quote
= APL quote
• neutral (vertical) glyph with mixed usage
• 2019 ’ is preferred for apostrophe
• preferred characters in English for paired
quotation marks are 2018 ‘ & 2019 ’
• 05F3 ׳ is preferred for geresh when writing
Hebrew
→ 02B9 ʹ modifier letter prime
→ 02BC ʼ modifier letter apostrophe
→ 02C8 ˈ modifier letter vertical line
→ 0301 $́ combining acute accent
→ 030D $̍ combining vertical line above
→ 05F3 ׳ hebrew punctuation geresh
→ 2018 ‘ left single quotation mark
→ 2019 ’ right single quotation mark
→ 2032 ′ prime
→ A78C ꞌ latin small letter saltillo
