[In case it doesn't render correctly, the apostrophe in choices is unicode
character U+2019]
Consider the following model:

{{{
class Marks(models.Model):
CHOICES = [("apostrophe", "’")]

marks = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=CHOICES)
}}}

every time that {{{django-admin makemigrations}}} is called a new
migration is created, because the autodetector detects that the field has
changed (old_field.choices, new_field.choices):

{{{
([('apostrophe', '`')], [('apostrophe', '’')])
}}}

Comment:

Sorry I can't reproduce this on main, here's the migration generated from
the model in the description:

{{{
# Generated by Django 5.0.dev20230612063128 on 2023-06-14 03:03
