> (The language that prompted my initial email was unsurprisingly French, which uses ' between consecutive characters (it'd be a pain to have to type "l%'arrivée d%'un email", and I don't know anyone who types in the proper "l’arrivée d’un email", except when their text editor auto-corrects).

You should know that there are people who claim that using u+2019 in
"l’arrivée" is incorrect, and that one should write "lʼarrivée"
instead.  The rationale is that u+2019 is a punctuation character, so
it doesn't belong in the middle of a word.  There was a long
discussion about that on the Unicode list a couple of months ago.
