0027, 02BC, 2019, or a new character?

May be the IDN could accept a new combining diacritic (sort of right-side
acute accent). After all the Kazakh intent is not to define a new separate
character but a modification of base letter to create a single letter in
their alphabet.
So a proposal for COMBINING APOSTROPHE (whose spacing non-combining version
is 02BC), so that SPACE+COMBINING APOSTROPHE will render exactly like 02BC.
