Its meaning is context dependent. I know three uses of it:

1) As 'single quote marks' in an English sentence.
2) As a character literal marker in programming, e.g 'a'.
3) To indicate ownership, it which case it's occurrence is never paired.


In case 3, it's not "it's", it's "its". And now you can add a fourth
case for contractions. :-).
