Uzbek Apostrophe Fixer
Phone keyboards and old software rarely have the correct Uzbek apostrophe characters, so oʻzbek ends up typed as o'zbek or o‘zbek. Paste your text here and get every apostrophe corrected automatically.
Why this is a real, common problem
The Uzbek Latin alphabet uses two special characters that look like apostrophes but aren't: ʻ (used only inside oʻ and gʻ) and ʼ (used for the tutuq belgisi, a glottal stop, as in maʼno or sanʼat). Most keyboards only offer a plain straight quote ' or a curly quote ' , so text typed on a phone or in a hurry is full of the wrong character — which looks fine to a human eye but breaks search, sorting, and spell-check.
What the fixer changes — and what it leaves alone
The tool looks at every apostrophe-like character in your text: if it directly follows an "o" or "g", it becomes the correct ʻ; if it sits between two letters elsewhere in a word, it becomes the tutuq belgisi ʼ. An apostrophe used as an actual quotation mark — next to a space or punctuation — is left untouched, since it isn't part of a word at all.
Frequently asked questions
Why does it matter which apostrophe character I use?+
Search engines, spell-checkers and government document systems increasingly expect the correct Unicode characters. Text with the wrong apostrophe can fail to match search queries or look inconsistent when copied between systems and fonts.
Will it accidentally change quotation marks in my text?+
The fixer only changes an apostrophe-like character when it sits directly inside a word (between two letters). A quote mark next to a space, at the start of a sentence, or wrapping a quoted phrase is left as-is.
