N'Ko - which character? 02BC vs. 2019

[Philippe Verdy]

On this page

the N'ko Institute hesitates ans uses U+2018 (‘) in English i.e. the
reverse direction.
It has advantages that it is used immediately after letter N/n and if ever
it appears at end of words, it won't match a pair of single quotation marks
(U+2018 is a punctuation only at start of lines, or after whitespaces and
punctuations; U+2019 is not always a quotation punctuation after a letter,
even if it's followed by whitespace or punctuation, it may also be an
orthographic apostrophe).
