Wrong apostrophe sign used in the Ukrainian week day localization of a _п'ятниця_.

The or also known as U+2019 (right single quotation mark ’) used to represent an apostrophe.
Should be ʼ aka U+02BC (modifier letter apostrophe ʼ).

Please refer to this article, explainig spesific usage of an apostrophe:
wiki/Apostrophe

Article in Ukrainian language:
uk/wiki/Апостроф

In Ukrainian language aphstrophe represents as a special letter apostrophe.
U+02BC is rendered identically to U+2019 in the Unicode code charts, and the standard cautions that one should never assume this code is used in any language.

This typo causes a lot of frustrations especially if one relies on a used language in an app development.

Code reference:
locale/uk.js line:43
locale/uk.js line:47
locale/uk.js line:51
