PHP does not recognize a file name with an apostrophe in it

Question

I am currently trying to check with PHP if a file exists. The current file that I am trying to check if it exists contains an apostrophe, the file is called: 13067-AP-03 A - situation projetée.pdf.

The code I use to check if a file exists:

$filename = 'C:/13067-AP-03 A - Situation projetée.pdf';

if (file_exists($filename)) 
{
    echo "The file exists";
} else 
{
    echo "The file does not exist";
}

The problem that I am facing right now is that whenever I try to check if a file exists, I get a message that it does not exist. If I continue deleting é, I get a message that the file exists.

It seems that PHP somehow does not recognize the file if it has an apostrophe. I tried the following:

urlencode($filename);
addslashes($filename);
utf8_encode($filename);

None of them worked. I also tried:

setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
