Exception to smart quote substitution for one word I have System Preferences|Keyboard enabled for smart quotes. Unfortunately, this tends to turn Hawai&lsquo;i into Hawai&rsquo;i even when I use Option&ndash;]. Any suggestion how to get one word the way I want? (Not interested in global disable of smart quotes.)
The most correct character for the Hawaiian ʻokina is U+02BB, Modifier Letter Turned Comma.  It is a letter in its own right rather than punctuation.

Using that would hopefully avoid problems that can arise when a punctuation symbol like U+2018 Left Single Quotation Mark is used instead.
