's shows possesion. The cat is her's.

#039 is the ascii code for a curly apostrophe, a ' . This is different than the ' that appears when you hit the key next to the enter button on your keyboard. If you're seeing #039 instead of ', it's because your browser isn't formatting the character correctly.
It's an apostrophe.

's means nothing by itself - it is used to change a word into its possessive form:
the cat's fur - the fur of the cat
my dad's car - the car belonging to my dad
it's - it is
