About Aphostrophe (' )

If i try to use the Unicode character for the aphostrophe, in the frond end show the character as single quotation mark, so if I have more than 1 in a page, one is open quotation mark and the second one is close quotation mark, if there is more, it repeat the proces, by showing next one opened and then closed and …

Maybe is because do not exist in the typo and that´s why it uses istead of aphostrophe character the single quotation character

You are making things more complicated than they need to be. WordPress filters single and double straight quotes and turns them into curly quotes. By using ' you are confusing the algorithm. I typed your example above into a plain WordPress (not Pressbooks) editor using straight single quotes and the result (when published) was this:

I try before to use the straight single quotes, before and now too, and sometimes do not work as you can see.
