Hairy one, unless you have Windows/Office XP or above to
hand.
Alt + 0146 will theoretically generate Unicode 2019 - if
Window's Character Map is to be believed.
So you could try that in the Search for box in say Word's
Search and Replace. If that fails, try typing the 2019
followed immediately by Alt + x to get the ' which is here.
Then simply replace with apostrophe.

Subject: [guispeak] Converting unicode to ansi
I am in over my head on this one; and, though I hate to
plead
ignorance, it is my only defense. So, please be patient.
I grab things in Internet Explorer 6 which are subsequently
to be
translated into braille using the Wintrans port of NFBtrans.
When I get this stuff from the internet, there are often odd
characters, usually apostrophe characters, which Window Eyes
now
translates correctly but which are not true apostrophes,
although
I do not recall the correct ansi value, but I think it is
27. At
any rate, Window Eyes reports these erroneous apostrophes as
unicode 2019. So now for the question. How do I convert
unicode
2019 to an ansi value so that I can use the search and
replace
feature in Text Pal to convert it to a genuine apostrophe?
I surely would appreciate help on this.
