Use true apostrophes, not ASCII quotes...
ASCII quotes are not true orthographic letters, although there's minimum support for use of them as
orthographic apostrophes.

One question: in which language is such expression used? This is not indicated on the referenced page,
which is completely empty, and looks just like a test page.
I have the feeling that if such expression really exists, theses are not even quotes or apostrophes, but
some form of click or glottal stop, and so this is the wrong character, just approximated here by a
tweaked quote.

The problem apparently arises in the [[Neapolitan language]].

WONTFIX. The proper unicode character should be used.
