Template:hy-punctuation mark
- Armenian apostrophe, ապաթարց (apatʻarcʻ)
- In Old Armenian placed before the preposition ի (i) to differentiate it from words starting with ի- (i-).
- ՚ի տուն ― ’i tun ― to home
- In literary Western Armenian, replaces reduced vowels, especially in the case of the particles կը (kə), մը (mə), չի (čʻi).
- կ՚ասէ ― k’asē ― says
- չ’երթար ― čʻ’ertʻar ― doesn't go
- In transliterating European proper nouns with apostrophes, such as names with the particles d’, O', transliterates the apostrophe.
- Ժաննա դ’Արկ ― Žanna d’Ark ― Joan of Arc
