This is not a redeeming, the Kazakh government currently has not made any
assesment of how to encode their proposed system.

Who said that was was proposed by them was an "apostrophe" ? May be they
jsut wanted to use the ASCII apostrophe for compatibility with their legacy
systems (but it's like the hack used in legacy ASCII-only system to
represent [é] as [e'] : it's a workaround but this caused enough serious
problems that we then all used the correct encoding of an acute accent, as
a separate combining character or precombined with letters).

And here we were suggesting several other characters. For me U+0315 is the
best match for what they propose.
