Let's not worry for now about Hawaiian or Samoan, or U+02BB, or any of 
the other 130-some languages that have apostrophe-like characters in 
their name.

Let's focus on the apostrophe-like characters in the languages that have 
click letters in their name. There are only two such languages in the 
Registry:

Juǀʼhoan (which has an alternative name, Juǀʼhoansi)

ǂKxʼauǁʼein

Notice that in these names, the apostrophe-like characters do not fall 
at the beginning or end of the language name, where they might appear 
next to single quotation marks or other apostrophes. So we don't need to 
worry fir now about that typographical issue either.
