Java - Assign unicode apostrophe to char

I want to assign the value of aphostrophe to a char:

char a = '\'';

However I would like to use the unicode version of apostrophe (\u0027) to keep it consistent with my code:

char a = '\u0027';

But doing it this way gives an error saying "unclosed character literal".

How can I do this assignment while still having the unicode code in the code?
