21.5.31 Mule and the ’ symbol (input method?)

You don't want that if you can avoid it (that's a RIGHT SINGLE
QUOTATION MARK, U+2019). You want ʼ, if your fonts have it (that's
MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE U+02BC, which is preferred to the ASCII
apostrophe).
Now this is perfectly displayed (en encoded via UTF8) in
21.5.31 Mule, however I cannot find any input method for
this symbol.
You'll probably have to make one. It's easy enough to add to Quail
input methods, say latin-9-prefix (or whatever seems most useful to
you).
Eg, for latin-9-prefix add
("''" ?ʼ)
at around line 75 of latin-euro-input.el (use find-library to get it,
don't forget to byte-compile!) If that doesn't work, first check for
load-path shadows (M-x list-load-path-shadows).
Quail probably ought to be revised to make it possible to "cascade"
input method tables, but I don't think that's ever been done, so the
best you can do for now is to just change the input method you prefer
locally.
