I want the key code for the apostrophe AKA single quote( ' ) key.

the key code for a single-quote key with the US keyboard layout on an ANSI keyboard is 39.

You can also use this little dev tool that I've written for my own purposes. It will quit when you close its window.
I'm curious if the attached sit archive is small enough to make it into the list. IIRC, there was a size limit, right?
Best regards,
Peter Maurer.
Attachment:
Key Codes.app.sit
Description: Macintosh archive
It's already built into X-Code (1.5 anyway)
Main menu
Format -> Font -> Show Fonts will give you the Font palette. At the lower left there's the little contextual menu item. Hold it down and select Characters...
You can get the info on any character in the entire Unicode set. If you select a character and hold the cursor over it you'll get a hint with the Unicode Hex value (key code). For _'_ apostrophe, it's 27 (e.g. 39 decimal). you get the Unicode and UTF8 values.
It's worth exploring for all the CUTE stuff you can do, including characters to put into buttons as "icons".
Of course you can "Insert" any character right into your XCode cursor location. I just put a chinese ideograph character into a document window's "stop" button for fun and games.
