New submission from mohammad aghanabi:
According to [UAX #29](http://unicode.org/reports/tr29) - unicode word
boundaries (rule WB5a), an apostrophe includes U+0027 ( ' ) APOSTROPHE and
U+2019 ( ’ ) RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (curly apostrophe).
However regex module only implements U+0027 and the second kind (U+2019) is
missing:
/* Break between apostrophe and vowels (French, Italian). */
/* WB5a */
if (pos_m1 >= 0 && char_at(state->text, pos_m1) == '\'' &&
is_unicode_vowel(char_at(state->text, text_pos)))
return TRUE;
