' bug is not a bug

This one has been around for yonks, but only recently have I run in to it.
' is a XML entity and isnt an HTML entity. Charles Miller post holds the top spot on google for this topic. Long live ‘’’ and ‘‘’, of course using ‘'’ actually is the only real solution for this single quote issue.

Why not use ' which is perfectly handled by UTF-8 and iso-8859-1?

Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Europe, Earth etc...

Hence my '‘' remark. However, semantically it's not entirely kosher because an apostrophe is not the opening of a quotation.
