The following issue was raised on the java-se-spec-comments list:
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/java-se-spec-comments/2019-October/000004.html
"In the Java Language Specification JSE13 Edition, 3.10.4, Character
Literals, the next to last paragraph needs an additional sentence:
"Finally, it is not possible to write '\u0027' for a character literal
containing an apostrophe (').".
To be helpful, and to align with a similar sentence in 3.10.5, 3.10.4
should indeed add the sentence above to the informative paragraph which
currently ends "Instead, use '\r'."
