Unicode on Android

[Ben Rubinstein]

Could this be the issue that Android uses ISO-8859-1 as native encoding, which 
doesn't support smart apostrophe, and has no characters defined at 146?

in which I was gently guided by Michael McCreary.

But I remain personally somewhat confused; although ISO-8859-1 may not have a 
smart apostrophe, and Android may use ISO-8859-1, it's clearly not the case 
that no Android app can display any character outside those in ISO-8859-1.  So 
further guidance and understanding would certainly be appreciated.
