can't be relied on to honor such finesse. A./ PS: btw, the Root Zone of the DNS will not support U+02BC as a "letter". The "invisible" distinction in property is irrelevant when it comes to identifies that are identified visually by users, and further, we don't really want to encourage people to use it to register words intended to contain apostrophes. Since we can't have ordinary apostrophes or U+2019, we can't have U+02BC looking like it might be one of the others. To make matters worse, users for languages that "should" use
U+02BC aren't actually consistent; much data uses U+2019 or
U+0027. Ordinary users can't tell the difference (and spell
checkers seem not successful in enforcing the practice).
