A quick check with Rosetta's Hyperglot gives 6 (pairs of) Latin/Cyrillic letters that are not supported, that are used in some languages. The other 5 (ꙀꙊꙖꙂ Ԩ, which are cyrillic letters) are probably a separate issue.

The Saltillo Ꞌ ꞌ is basically a letter version of the apostrophe ' (specifically to differentiate them semantically), used in 5 languages listed by Hyperglot (Awetí, Karo, Ngomba, Tikar, and Tojolabal, the 5 Latin-script languages left not supported in their list), to represent a glottal stop (sometimes a schwa or an h sound instead). Some other languages also used them but only the lowercase.

Here are some monospace fonts that support them (+ some non-monospace fonts, for reference):

(The Iosevka row uses unifont for fallback)

According to wiki it should be rendered as a straight apostrophe-like shape, or "like a dotless exclamation mark" (at least for the uppercase). So it should not have the variants that apostrophe has.

Visual differentiation from the apostrophe is probably not necessary but welcome. I don't know enough of any of the languages that use the letter to know if the similarity poses a problem.
