OK, not the Coronis then... but which apostrophe? I notice you use 0027 on
your website, and it is called APOSTROPHE in the Unicode standard, but in
that document the "preferred character for apostrophe" is 2019. So which
apostrophe is an apostrophe is an apostrophe?

And what is a Coronis, anyone?
