If the user wanted to use the preferred character, U+2019, would using the no break space (U+00A0) after it resolve the word or line break issues?  Or possibly NNBSP (U+202F)?

It's a shame if users choose suboptimal characters over preferred characters because of what are essentially rendering/text selection issues.  IMO, it's better to use preferred characters in the long run.

(Users should file bug reports on applications which improperly medially break strings which include U+2019.)
