Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Typewriter Apostrophe

[Linguist]

I'm typesetting a document in a language of Indonesia which uses the unicode character U+0027 (Also known as the `typewriter apostrophe' or `vertical apostrophe') as a letter of the alphabet (used to represent the glottal stop).

I'm looking for a way to input this character (U+0027) with the Times font, (or any font for that matter)

LaTeX automatically converts the input ' into the character U+2019, `right single quotation mark'. This is not acceptable as this character is used in this language for quotations.

Other characters which I've considered but are equally unacceptable include: prime and the tipa vertical stroke character.

For more information, see the Wikipedia article `Apostrophe'; I want the apostrophe on the right please!

After many hours of searching for a solution I accidently stumbled across one while looking for something else.

Load the textcomp package. Use the command \textquotesingle.

The story of LaTeX: everything's wasy once you know how. Until you know how evrything's impossible.
