Just be aware that `'` does _not_ always translate to `’`. There’s also `‘`, `‚`, `′`, `ʻ`, etc. which `'` is commonly used to represent. In fact, this ambiguity of `'` is one of the reasons we prefer the typographically correct Unicode character, as those have far less possible meanings/interpretations (`’` still has at least two meanings, but that’s still far less than the 6+ meanings of `'`).

(Edit: And that’s not even considering that `''` is commonly used instead of `"` to represent all the things that `"` can possibly represent, overloading `'` even more.)
