This is late reply but summarizing the answer with quality answer with code addressing different ways of doing it.

You do not need to use escape sequence when detecting apostrophe. The correct regular expression would be

/'+/g

This will remove all apostrophes from the regular expression, if if there are occurrences like ' or '', or ''' and so on.

Here is the code snippet which removes only one instance of apostrophe from a string.

JavasScript

var name = document.getElementById('name').value;
name = name.replace(/'/,'')
alert('The result string ' + name);

PHP

$subject ="Mik's sub";
$resplace = "";
$search ="'";
$new_str =  str_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
echo "New Subject : $new_str";

Unicode with JavaScript

var regex = /\u0027/;
name = name.replace(regex,'')
