Please read the Unicode 3.0 book actually. The word "apostrophe" is
just a historic name. Unicode explicitely says that it is a direction
neutral symbol, and it is prudent to distinguish it clearly from
U+2019.

All this is explained in great detail on

  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/mgk25/ucs/quotes.html

with lots of quotations, therefore I won't repeat the detailed
argument again here (since I'm typing this via a slow link).
Please read the above carefully.
