HTML code for an apostrophe

Question

Seemingly simple, but I cannot find anything relevant on the web.

What is the correct HTML code for an apostrophe? Is it ’?

Answer 1

Depends on which apostrophe you are talking about: there’s ', ‘, ’ and probably numerous other ones, depending on the context and the language you’re intending to write. And with a declared character encoding of e.g. UTF-8 you can also write them directly into your HTML: ', ‘, ’.
