 am able to paste your exact text in the editor and display it on the front
 end.

 In the screenshots, the apostrophes are converted to
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_marks_in_English single quotes],
 exactly as described. This is done by the built-in
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wptexturize/
 wptexturize()] function, with no plugins involved.

 There's a [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/wptexturize number of
 plugins] to disable `wptexturize()` per post or globally.
