Question !! - What is that letter {\'\'} used for ??

- It is not a letter. It\'s a sign which is used for shortening a word.
For example:
Doctor = דוקטור = ד\"ר
By heart (like to tell a poem by heart) = על-פה = ע\"פ

Sometimes it is used to show abbreviation:
נצח ישראל לא ישקר = ניל\"י

I hope it helps :)
