Proper way to encode apostrophe/single quote in place search

I'm not finding the magic encoding for searching the Facebook place database for a name with an apostrophe in it.

These don't work

search?q=Duke's Restaurant & Barefoot Bar&type=place&center=21.2766380277,-157.8278034925&distance=1000

search?q=Duke%27s Restaurant & Barefoot Bar&type=place&center=21.2766380277,-157.8278034925&distance=1000

search?q=Duke\u0027s Restaurant & Barefoot Bar&type=place&center=21.2766380277,-157.8278034925&distance=1000

I can strip the apostrophe and it works:

search?q=Dukes Restaurant & Barefoot Bar&type=place&center=21.2766380277,-157.8278034925&distance=1000

Is there a way for Facebook to recognize the apostrophe correctly, or is their recommendation to just strip them? I can't find anything to that effect.
