So I can easily do a B-) but not spell "can't" correctly without extra key presses.
It's been that way on my 1st generation iPad for as long as I can remember, and it's that way on my iPad Air. It's never bothered me too much, but if I had the apostrophe option all along and woke up one morning to find an update replaced it with an emoticon button I'd be rather irate as well. Looks like Google is going for the texter market; many of whom wouldn't know an apostrophe if it bit 'em in the backside.
