Hawaiian glottal in Unicode?

I've seen recommendations to represent the Hawaiian glottal (ʻokina) in
Unicode as U+02BB. This seems odd since this character is bidi neutral;
it seems like you would get strange results if you mixed Hawaiian and
Arabic, for example. U+2018 is also not right since it's punctuation,
and you get incorrect double-click behavior, among other things.

Any comments?
