MySQL doesn't need to escape Unicode because it supports it directly. However, if you don't explicitly make the table's charset utf8, it will horribly mangle any input you try to throw at it.
Even if MySQL directly supported Unicode, which it or something in this stack clearly doesn't (I pasted the string, it came out wrong), it would still need Unicode escapes

My guess would be the table isn't configured correctly (by default it isn't). And no, you don't need escapes, because no UTF-8 character contains the byte for ' except for ' itself.
