Apostrophe on phone disappears after posting

Hello

 

If I type up a post on my phone that has an apostrophe, it disappears after posting. So, I looked into it and apparently the phone uses the Right Single Quotation Mark (U+2019) instead of the regular Apostrophe (U+0027). Now, I can tap and hold the apostrophe to find the regular apostrophe in the keyboard, but it would be nice to get it fixed.

 

Thank you!

 

Edit: The keyboard is the default keyboard on iOS. Not using any third-party keyboard apps.

https://www.sussex.ac.uk/informatics/punctuation/quotes/marks  they are called Quotation Marks for double and Direct for Single.

 

U+201C Left Double Quotation Mark Unicode Character.   +U201D  Right Double

 

U+2019 is Single Right    U+2010D is Single Left

 

U+0027  is A   !

 

Is Unicode above.

 

Not a phone person.

Oh I get the grammar version. But Unicode calls it "Right Single Quotation Mark"

Hi, no need to use the Quote All box, just type,  Thanks.

 

Is what I said : there or left, right double and left right single.  The use of Unicode Character was to say what they are in the computer world.  There is also various slang terms.

 

U+2019 is Single Right    or   Right Single U+2019    so what is it your trying to say ?

Basically, the phone's keyboard uses U+2019 when using apostrophe. When you submit the post on BleepingComputer, the apostrophe disappears

Just as a heads up, the topic is about Bleeping Computer forums where it doesn't support the U+2019 apostrophe the keyboard uses. Instead, when you post, the apostrophe disappears so What's would become Whats as an example. The same works fine on the computer because it uses a standard apostrophe. The one solution I found is tapping and holding onto the apostrophe key and choosing the regular apostrophe, but this is less ideal.

Sounds like an Apple issue and not a forum issue.

On my various Droids I can use single ' ' without them being erased.

Yeah this is iOS. I did some digging and turns out you can turn off smart punctuation which disables it.
