Unless it's a \' the shell will not pass the apostrophe onto wget. If you
really mean that wget is interpreting the apostrophe, then you need to
use %number like you see in URLs sometimes. I can't help you with what
number it is. If you mean that the shell is not passing the apostrophe to
wget, then just delimit it with a backslash like this: \`

Hope this helps,
