  ʻOkina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ‘okina is the Hawaiian apostrophe-like character used to indicate the glottal stop consonant.
In plain ASCII the ‘okina is sometimes represented by the apostrophe character ('), ASCII value 39 in decimal and 27 in hexadecimal, which in most fonts currently used renders as a straight, data-processing, typewriter apostrophe as is also specified in Unicode.
A more pedantic and ultra-correct method for plain ASCII text is to use the grave accent character (`), ASCII value 96 in decimal and 60 in hexadecimal, which in some older fonts, especially those used on older Unix-like platforms, does display a glyph similar to a left single quotation mark.
