I don't have KLI's pIqaD font, but I have an idea. Certain programs,
most notably Microsoft Word, automatically convert quotation marks (and
apostrophes) to "smart quotes" (or "curly quotes"). These have a
different ASCII code from the normal apostrophe (146 compared to 39).
The solution, if you are using MS Word, is to press Ctrl-Z (undo)
immediately after you press the apostrophe key. Good luck!
