Most people call it an apostrophe but what a computer keyboard actually gives you is a prime.
An apostrophe is shaped like a figure 9, and some word processors have an option to replace a prime with an apostrophe automatically.

looks like everyone agrees. It's an apostrophe and can be used to join words like is not (isn't) or to suggest the possesive as in Tim's (belonging to Tim).

Its an apostrophe. It can be used in contractions (eg. can't) and many other things too.
