 This is about the Title and URL fields in the post edit screen.

 '''Currently, single accents are treated as valid entities for URLs:'''

 {{{
 TITLE: Als wär´s ein Stück von mir
 => URL: http://domain.tld/als-war´-s-ein-stuck-von-mir
 => URL: http://domain.tld/als-war%C2%B4-s-ein-stuck-von-mir
 }}}

 Note how the accent is inaccurately used as an apostrophe here. Sadly,
 many users do that.
 '''Because it is a single accent, the same behavior as with an apostrophe
 would save the URL here:'''

 {{{
 TITLE: Als wär´s ein Stück von mir (U+00B4 Acute Accent)
 -OR-
 TITLE: Als wär`s ein Stück von mir (U+0060 Grave Accent)
 -OR-
 TITLE: Als wär's ein Stück von mir (U+0027 Apostrophe)
 -OR-
 TITLE: Als wär’s ein Stück von mir (U+2018 Left Single Quotation)
 -OR-
 TITLE: Als wär‘s ein Stück von mir (U+2019 Right Single Quotation)

 -SHOULD ALL BE REMOVED FROM URLS LIKE APOSTROPHES-

 => URL: http://domain.tld/als-wars-ein-stuck-von-mir
 }}}

 Disclaimer: Is there a need for non-western languages to keep accents
 and/or single quotations in URLs?
