These happen to coincide in the Ethi case, but in other cases, where the

Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm guessing it would be U+02BC but prefer to
wait for Michael to say.

We're only talking about aopstrophes. For now I've abandoned thoughts
of providing ASCII fallbacks for accented letters, because of the
controversy that caused.
