 Here is the code in my theme.

 {{{
 $lz_version= get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'option_current-release', true );
 }}}

 a metabox with a number like 1.9. Custom Post type: Books

 {{{
 $lz_name = get_the_title().' - '.$lz_version;
 }}}

 it echos something like "Alex’s book collection – 1.9"

 {{{
 $lz_links = get_page_by_title($lz_name, OBJECT, 'release_link');
 }}}

 release_link is a custom post type. The titles of that CPT are like
 “Alex’s book collection – 1.9”

 {{{
 echo get_the_title($lz_links>ID);
 }}}

 it echos the title of current page “Alex’s book collection”, not desired
 “Alex’s book collection – 1.9”
 But if I dont add any apostrophe, the code works fine.
