Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2019 "’" Right Single Quotation Mark is a typographic symbol primarily used in English and other languages to denote the closing of a single quotation, as in ‘quoted text’, or to represent an apostrophe in contractions like "don’t" and possessives such as "John’s book". It is distinct from the straight apostrophe (U+0027) or the left single quotation mark (U+2018), offering a more curved and aesthetically pleasing appearance in professional typesetting. This character also appears in certain contexts as a punctuation mark for glosses or transcribed speech, and its usage is standardized in Unicode to ensure consistent rendering across digital platforms.
