Cannot auto relocate tracks with apostrophes in title or artist

As the title suggests, I've recently moved my library of over 3,000 tracks to a new laptop. The auto relocate function successfully found most of them, but around 300 tracks are still showing as missing.

After some investigation, I noticed a pattern: the missing tracks all have a single apostrophe in either the title or artist name (e.g. Pick 'Em Up, Sally's Blues).

Is this a known issue, and is there any workaround to avoid manually relocating all of them one by one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting, I remember having a similar issue when moving from MacOS to Windows. But I never made the connection it might be related to that. 

However when I moved from Windows back to MacOS years later I paid good attention. And the tracks auto relocate could not find didn't have apostrophes. 

I'm writing down you discovery for my own report. As I try to understand which things might hinder auto relocate.
