However, this is a highly personal feeling and I’m not able to prove it beyond any doubt. So we’ll have to wait for another reader who settles the case. I think I’ll ask the Lexikaliker for his opinion…
I would consider this apostrophe-looking character to be a single prime. On top of that it belongs to another font (something like “Times New Roman”), and the spacing doesn’t seem to be correct either.
