Yes. Unicode APOSTROPHE = 0x27.

I am not very experienced with Makefiles; but I think all Unix stuff supports spaces; although sometimes some additional efforts (like quoting) are required.

Using APOSTROPHEs may well not be the correct way to do this - but it works (with GNU Make 3.81) and I do not know  of any better way of quoting.
