The single quote (') in asciidoc turns into \' in the man page
typesetting language and its meaning is acute accent (=B4, U+00B4). In
Ascii-only environment \' is displayed as a single quote but it is stil=
l
logically an acute accent. For example, my UTF-8 terminals as well as
Postscript output (man -Tps) display \' as acute accent.

To get the logical single quote the man page source should contain \(aq
or \[aq] . Don't know how to make asciidoc do this.
