Note: the character ′ here is the Unicode character U+2032 PRIME, which is not only not an apostrophe, but is also the _correct_ character for denoting minutes of arc.
Wikipedia coordinate display also uses the character ″ , which is U+2033 DOUBLE PRIME, which is the correct character for denoting seconds of arc.
Obviously, the ordinary single and double quotes should be accepted as alternatives on input, but both of these correct characters should be supported for input of geocoordinates, and the correct characters used for output of geocoordinates in the Wikidata interface wherever possible.
