^^^^^^^^^^
Forward tick is not in the iso-8859-15 table. It is really replaced by
"LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON" from iso-8859-1.
Only the simple computing tick is (APOSTROPHE), as well as the back-tick
(GRAVE ACCENT) : ' and `.
Maybe you should switch to UTF-8, in order to be able to map the
win-1252 table. Or switch back to iso-8859-1.
