 Well, it is *not* an apostrophe, but an accent, which you can easily see
 by comparing it with a real apostrophe --'--. And,
 http://isis.et.uni-magdeburg.de/network/help/html/char.html
 confirms that it's indeed the acute accent at 0xb4 (180, 0264) in
 ISO Latin 1. Not that I knew the difference between ISO Latin 1 and
 ISO-8859-1, if any.
