This character is typically rendered as a straight typewriter apostrophe, lacking the curve of the ʻokina proper. In some fonts, the ASCII apostrophe is rendered as a right single quotation mark , which is an even less satisfactory glyph for the ʻokina—essentially a 180° rotation of the correct shape.
JIS X 0201, the Japanese version of ISO 646 containing the base 7-bit ASCII characters (with some modifications) and 64 half-width katakana characters. JIS X 0208 , the most common kanji character set containing 6,879 characters, including 6,355 kanji and 524 other characters (one 94 by 94 plane)
The full name of this standard is 7-bit and 8-bit coded character sets for information interchange (7ビット及び8ビットの情報交換用符号化文字集合). The first 96 codes comprise an ISO 646 variant, mostly following ASCII with some differences, while the second 96 character codes represent the phonetic Japanese katakana signs.
ASCII was incorporated into the Unicode (1991) character set as the first 128 symbols, so the 7-bit ASCII characters have the same numeric codes in both sets. This allows UTF-8 to be backward compatible with 7-bit ASCII, as a UTF-8 file containing only ASCII characters is identical to an ASCII file containing the same sequence of characters.
This template outputs the ʻokina character (ʻ, ʻ) used to mark the phonetic glottal stop used in Polynesian languages such as Hawaiian and Samoan.It is also used for aspiration of Armenian, in the Wade–Giles transcription of Chinese, and for the L2/00-220 transliteration and some romanizations of the Semitic letter ayin.
Therefore, the character at 4/1 in ASCII and the character at 3-33 in JIS X 0208 can be regarded as the same character (although, in practice, alternative mapping is used for the JIS X 0208 character due to encodings providing ASCII separately). Conversely, ASCII characters 2/2 (quotation mark), 2/7 (apostrophe), 2/13 (hyphen-minus), and 7/14 ...
