The font generates a slanted squiggle, but then gives about 2 blank spaces to the right.
I've seen exactly that in many Onyx Boox video reviews, and chalked it up to horrific Latin text handling by non-western developers. It isn't related to justification. It is annoying that all reviewers completely fail to mention or perhaps even notice this.

Wikipedia suggests the use of U+2019 for possessives and contractions is preferred over U+0027 which for me has always been a "straight" apostrophe.

I'd report this to Onyx, because it really ruins their typography.
