\' escape is the acute accent; same as \(aa.  To get an apostrophe,
use ' or \&' (if to be used as the first character on the string).
See groff(7) for details.

\\ and \e escapes did not work due to the bug in devkoi8-r/R.proto
I introduced in revision 1.4.  Fixed in:

gnu/usr.bin/groff/font/devkoi8-r/R.proto,v 1.5 (-CURRENT)
gnu/usr.bin/groff/font/devkoi8-r/R.proto,v 1.4.2.2 (-STABLE)

Thanks for the report!
