Why can't I replace "'" to single quote

Why can't I replace " & # 3 9 ; " to single quote , I wrote this code but doesn't work.

Code

String originalText = "don't";
originalText = originalText.replace("'", "\'");

The result is showing dont but I want it to be don't

I set spaces between & # 3 9 ; because if I remove it will hide.

Html.fromHtml("Don't");
