Comment:

 This appears to affect more than just this case. Apostrophe characters
 following numbers that should be converted to single right quotes are
 instead converted to prime:

 `'Uno es 1' => ‘Uno es 1′`

 Even a double quote following a number is converted to a double prime.

 `"Dos es 2" => “Dos es 2″`

 The trailing characters in both of those examples aren't quotes (`′`
 and `″`). Switching the rules for all those characters would seem to
 make the prime matching obsolete.

 This caused issues for me because the web font I'm using doesn't have
 support for the prime character and it creates nasty rendering issues.
 Taking a quick look through the best selling fonts on Fontspring and
 popular fonts on Font Squirrel, the majority don't  appear to have support
 for prime or double prime built in, either.
