How do i turn an apostrophe around?

In Pages, when I include an apostrophe within a quotation, it displays facing the opposite direction from what I want. So it my character has a regional accent and drops his 'h"s and says 'im instead of 'him,' the apostrophe is turned the wrong way. This happens inside double quotation marks when I'm trying to represent a peculiarity of speech. If I type a word that normally is contracted, like 'won't,' it displays normally. Is there a way to change this behavior? Thank you.

You can type what you want.


The curly quotes are:


option [ = “

option shift = ”

option ] = ‘

option shift ] = ’
