Could this be the issue that Android uses ISO-8859-1 as native encoding, which doesn't support smart apostrophe, and has no characters defined at 146?

in which I was gently guided by Michael McCreary.

But I remain personally somewhat confused; although ISO-8859-1 may not have a smart apostrophe, and Android may use ISO-8859-1, it's clearly not the case that no Android app can display any character outside those in ISO-8859-1. So further guidance and understanding would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks, Ralph. Are you telling me that you can render all non-roman unicode
text except a particular type of apostrophe?
