English Wikipedia has an article on:

Template:Apostrophe

This template uses the decimal code for the apostrophe or single-quote character. When taking the possessive of titles, or when indicating the derivative of a function, this template prevents an apostrophe or single quote from becoming mistakenly interpreted with adjacent bold (''') or italic ('') Wiki markup.

To insert an apostrophe and have it slightly spaced out from the rest of the text, use {{-'}}.

You type	You get
`''Z''{{'}}(''x'' + ''y'')`	Z'(x + y)
`''L''{{'}}s and ''s''{{'}}s`	L's and s's
