Apostrophe displays as '

@illMacAttackSo that's why people would randomly have that in their name. I've been seeing names with "'", along with those squares that means an emoji, symbol, or special font was used, (which isn't supported by the game).

"'" is an HTML entity code. When something cannot decode the apostrophe, it defaults to its code. Other symbols also have a code such as "&" being "&" and © being "©".

If I had to take a guess, this was to stop people from using symbols that allowed them to use game icons in their name (At one point people were able to run around with a name that looked like icons such as ammo, legend abilities, etc.)

Imagine running into someone with a png name of a Wingman, that's what people were doing. I've heard that got patched, but recently someone was running around with the Respawn logo, (and they were cheating). I don't know if using the Respawn logo got patched out or not, (or if the player had gotten banned yet).

I'm just surprised that your username isn't your EA account's username no matter what platform you're playing on. Fortnite already does this to some extent, (as in I remember my Switch name being the same as my PC name).

Edited: Like I've said, I've seen this a lot. This was from about an hour ago:
