The difference between xetex and xelatex is the font: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Should be An: \kern2019sp A\ifnum\lastkern=2019 y\else n\fi\par \fontencoding{OT1}\selectfont Should be An: \kern2019sp A\ifnum\lastkern=2019 y\else n\fi\par \end{document} or in plain xetex: Should be An: \kern2019sp A\ifnum\lastkern=2019 y\else n\fi\par \font\test="[lmroman10-regular.otf]"\test Should be An: \kern2019sp A\ifnum\lastkern=2019 y\else n\fi\par \bye -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
