I reiterate (after ~17 months) that the suggestion in this bug report is
ill-advised.

ISO 8859-15 (Latin-9) simple _has_ no code point for the acute accent,
any more than ASCII does.

Further, as Jakub Wilk pointed out, it's just plain wrong semantics to
use the \' escape sequence to obtain any form of quotation mark.  All
known *roffs going back to Osanna's 1973 troff define this escape
sequence as representing an acute accent.

Any man page that uses \' to attempt to obtain a quotation mark is in
error.

I suggesting tagging this bug "wontfix" and closing it.

Regards,
Branden
