I've solved the language problem, one of my main concerns, by writing styles and baking in the language. That seems to keep them consistent. So one of my problems is now solved!

I tried the following in LO v4.2
[d] [o] [n] [insert character dialogue, choose U+2019] [t] [space]
This did NOT result in capitalisation. U+2019 is known as the "right single quotation mark". This is (apparently) the preferred UNICODE character for the apostrophe and you are right, it doesn't work well for an apostrophe in LO, probably because it is being processed as a right-single-quotation-mark (even though I have automatic replacing of single quotes turned off).
Note that this alternative does work:
[d] [o] [n] [insert character dialogue, choose U+02BC] [t] [space]
'd' turned into 'D' with no problems. Note that U+02BC is known as the "modifier letter apostrophe" and is generally considered part of the word (unlike quotation marks), and LO's treatment reflects that.
Do a search for "2019" (without the qoutes) in this list to see what Unicode has to say:

From what you say, Word must have found some way to resolve the dichotomy between the two roles that U+2019 must play (maybe an option somewhere?). Treating it as part of the word will have other impacts on the text. Have you searched LO and OO forums on this topic?
