What happens to apostrophes inside words?
They are removed like the rest of the punctuation: don't becomes dont. That is the behaviour word-frequency tools expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are non-Latin scripts safe?
Yes. Removal targets punctuation and symbol categories, not any particular alphabet, so Chinese, Arabic or Cyrillic text keeps all its letters.
