(the apostrophe (‘ or ’) character is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritical mark, in languages that use the ‘latin alphabet’ and some other ‘alphabets’)
.
(in ‘english’, it is used for several purposes…)
(the marking of the omission of one or more letters (as in the contraction of do not to don’t))
(the marking of possessive case of nouns (as in the eagle’s feathers, or in one month’s time))
(the marking of plurals of individual characters (e.g. p’s and q’s))
.
(the word apostrophe comes ultimately from Greek ἡ ἀπόστροφος [προσῳδία] (hē apóstrophos [prosōidía], ‘[the accent of] turning away or elision’), through ‘latin’ + ‘french’)
(according to ‘unicode’, the apostrophe is the same character as the closing single quotation mark, although the semantics of this character are “context-dependent”)
(when it functions as a closing quotation mark, it is always paired with an opening quotation mark)
(the apostrophe also looks similar to, but is not the same as, the prime symbol ( ′ ), which is used to indicate measurement in feet or arcminutes, as well as for various mathematical purposes, and the ʻokina ( ʻ ), which represents a glottal stop in ‘polynesian languages’)
(other substitutes such as (acute) + (open) single quotation mark are common due to ambiguous treatment of the ‘apostrophe’ in ‘digital typesetting’)
