What is 'encoding' set to? Using multibyte characters (e.g. in a
mapping) will
only work if 'encoding' (which defines how characters are represented
internally in Vim memory) is set to an appropriate multibyte setting
beforehand
The encoding is set to utf-8. My point is, mapping works with some
multibyte characters, but not all of them. For example:
:imap ∀ foo
... that is, mapping the "forall" symbol (U+2200), works.
Since I can map some multibyte characters, there is in my opinion no
issue with the encoding.
The question is: why is it possible to map U+2200 but not U+2019?

Hm. It just might be a bug, but Bram would be better able than me to check this.
I can map <Char-0x2019> but I cannot really test that it works (I can just see
that it is represented correctly in the list of mappings), because that
character is not on my keyboard.
U+2019 is encoded as E2 80 99 while U+2200 is E2 88 80. I wonder if the
presence of a 0x80 in the middle might cause a bug in gvim.
Did you try the code snippet in my previous post? If it works, then we can
start digging why your previous method didn't work. If it doesn't, we should
have a clear-cut testcase for others to try and reproduce.
Best regards,
Tony.
