I agree with Dan, but I understand that Adobe just can't throw Unicode
support into the existing code base of Frame.  What I always do for these
characters that are unavailable is create user variables to concoct the
character needed.
In your case follow these steps:
    - Create a character style named "t'" with only the "spread" setting
set, set it to -15.0% (or-10.0%, I can't remember).
    - Next create a variable named "t'" with the definition as:
        <t'>t'<Default ¶ Font>
    - Insert the "t'" variable wherever you need the t-hachek character.

You will need to replace the t-hachek in your text file with some sort of
entity markup before you import the text, then do a search and replace to
insert the variable.  Let me know if you want more clarification.
