Especially since the same character is used as both an apostrophe and a
closing quotation mark. And while that's pretty unambiguous between to
characters it isn't at the end of a word:
This is Alex=E2=80=99 house.
This type of building is called an =E2=80=98Alex=E2=80=99 house.
The sentence =E2=80=98We are meeting at Alex=E2=80=99 house=E2=80=99 co=
ntains an apostrophe.
(using proper unicode quotation marks. It get's worse if you stick to
ASCII.)
Personally I like to use U+0027 APOSTROPHE as an apostrophe and U+2018
LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK and U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK as
single quotation marks[1], but despite the suggestive names, this is not
the common typographical convention, so your texts are unlikely to make
this distinction.
hp
[1] Which I use rarely, anyway.
