To be correct, u2019 isn't 0x27, its just character that looks a lot

Yes, but as a first approximation, 0x27 is much better than '?' for u2019.

 
Note that there are _standard names_ assigned with the characters.
These are normative what the characters represent. - I strongly
suggest to not twist these standards by assigning different
characters; you will do no one a favor but inflict only confusion
and harm.

I want to amend the standard names to make it clear...

0027 APOSTROPHE
2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

27 APOSTROPHE

Hope that helps to understand the standard names.


(You should also be aware that a glyph for a character may be
depicted differently depending on the source of the respective
documents.)
