I’m curious about if somebody has this problem with an apostrope typed from a keyboard of a iPad or iPhone?

I’m sorry, but I fail to see what the problem is. I can type an apostrophe on my iPad, no problem. You are hung up on the way it looks?

Apostrophe and quotes come in two flavors, straight and curly, with different Uncode codepoints. Turning on Apple's "smart punctuation" generates curly ones, which cannot be used for certain purposes,

I realize that you the expert on keyboards and languages, but enlighten as to what the advantage is to using US ASCII coded apostrophes in an iPad or iPhone.

I also realize that my ignorance is showing, but I want to learn as well.

EDIT - I didn’t see your post before I posted again. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I was the one that asked if you were hung up on the look, not Tom. Please accept my apology for not understanding what you were saying.

And please see Tom’s response to you. He is the expert in such matters.

One possible disadvantage of using the other kind is that it makes your text Unicode UTF-8, which can reduce the number of characters permitted in some message systems.

Otherwise it can be just the matter of being consistent throughout the text or making sure that the text is properly understood by apps or processes or search systems which may only accept ASCII.

Got it. Thanks again.
