 Hi @WPnerdzz,

 Thanks for this ticket and welcome to Trac!

 I did some testing on this and I was unable to reproduce the behavior you
 are describing. When I create a page with an apostrophe in the title, I am
 correctly able to retrieve the page with `get_page_by_title()`.

 While investigating, I noticed that `get_page_by_title()` does not have
 any unit tests. I opened #46439 to add these. When I wrote the tests I and
 made sure to include assertions that proves the function works as expected
 when there apostrophes and quotation marks in the title.

 In your examples above, the character in `Alex’s` is actually a right
 single quotation mark (`U+2019`) and not an apostrophe (`U+0027`). I think
 that your code may be looking for an apostrophe, but the code is actually
 inserting a different character.

 I am going to close this as `worksforme` because the tests show the
 function is working correctly and I am unable to reproduce the issue. If
 after you verify that your characters are in fact the same you are still
 experiencing this issue, you can reopen this and report back with more
 details.
