The Bug:
Some words within some strings use right single quotation marks (’) instead of apostrophes (').
Throughout all Minecraft strings, the apostrophe character is used 252 times, and the right single quotation mark is only used 4 times, therefore introducing an inconsistency. The use of two different characters for the same purpose is redundant and rather confusing. Furthermore, they both render differently in Minecraft's font which may convey the idea that they serve different purposes from one another, thus potentially creating additional perplexity. See MC-256422 - Character Render Comparison.png
Below is a table with some information regarding these two characters for a bit of context.
| Code | Glyph | Description |
|---|---|---|
| U+0027 | ' | Apostrophe |
| U+2019 | ’ | Right single quotation mark |
Affected Strings:
Before reading the table, please note the following:
- Characters colored in GREEN are correct.
- Characters colored in RED are incorrect.
