Hi,

the comments for U+2019 (’):
„this is the preferred character to use for apostrophe“
(Source: gucharmap and, for example,
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2019/index.htm)

aspell though does not like it, while it accepts ':

$ echo "doesn't" | aspell -d en list
$ echo "doesn’t" | aspell -d en list 
doesn

It would be nice if aspell would also grok ’.

Thanks,
Joachim
