Hello Agustin,

Please note that the bug is not about the single quote apostrophe,
U+0027, but concerns the typographically correct apostrophe, U+2019.

Both hunspell and aspell support it in recent versions, but Emacs
fails to correctly hand over words containing the typographical
apostrophe.

Regards,
Tobias
