On this page the N'ko Institute hesitates ans uses U+2018 (‘) in English i.e. the reverse direction. It has advantages that it is used immediately after letter N/n and if ever it appears at end of words, it won't match a pair of single quotation marks (U+2018 is a punctuation only at start of lines, or after whitespaces and punctuations; U+2019 is not always a quotation punctuation after a letter, even if it's followed by whitespace or punctuation, it may also be an orthographic apostrophe).
