The apostrophe should be 9. This is default in the current
version. See testfile below.

Here is an example file. Note that you need a font that has these
characters available (cmr does not). For the < and > see leftquote
and rightquotation. These are the possibilities for the "french"
quotation marks.

%% guilsingleleft 
%% guilsingleright
%% leftguillemot  
%% rightguillemot
