How can I refactor with regex, the right single quotation mark with an apostrophe

Hello Vim forum,
I hope this is the correct vim forum firstly?

So my keyboard Belkin (Ergonomic Smart Keyboard) F8E208-BLK(K B23-BLK) has an apostrophe key, but not a right single quotation mark.

However my Google Contacts has duplicate data and version1 has the approved apostrophe, but version2 has the unapproved right single quotation mark.

How can I run a regex to refactor this in vimdiff?
Something like Terminal > vimdiff > right window > :s/<findRightSingleQuotationMark>/' > Enter.
The problem is I cannot type the right single quotation mark with the keyboard?  Perhaps I can somehow enter the regex with ISO 8859-1 Unicode U+2019?

Thanks for any help, as manually typing r' could be a lot of repeat.
