This is going off-topic, but...

I really dislike the fact that the mapping makes the qaghwI' look like
an apostrophe. AFAICT that particular apostrophe-looking glyph hasn't
actually appeared on the show. Whoever made the mapping made the other
glyphs based on the symbols seen in the show, except for that one.
(I'm ignoring the digits, which I believe also aren't from the show.)
But to Klingons, the qaghwI' is just like any other letter, and it's
too much of a coincidence that it looks just like the Latin symbol
that Terrans use to transcribe it. (Of course, we can retcon that the
reason Terrans use the {'} for qaghwI' is because that's what it looks
like.)
