` (on the tilde key on US keyboards) is a back-tick and not an apostrophe.
Please do not confuse them! In standard ASCII the apostrophe and the single
quote are used interchangeably. There is no other character shaped similar
to the regular typeset curly single quote. Extended ASCII is not represented
in Unicode, so it should not be used for data storage. (heh.. some people
mangle the representations and map them accordingly, though)
