While in English the word 'the' is the only determinative article, in Italian there are different determinative articles for the gender (m/f) and the number (s/p). In Italian determinative articles ends with a vowel.

If even the word following the determinative article starts with a vowel, our grammar rules sometimes force to use apostrophe to elide the article's vowel. Examples:

the use --> l'utilizzo
the article --> l'articolo
the anchor --> l'ancora
the order --> l'ordine

Sometimes it's very difficult to give appropriate titles to articles if the apostrophe character is not permitted.

Since now we can use the character "." I am wondering if even the apostrophe can be worked around.

Thanks.

Nominating for the l10n milestone. This is important for Italian and I can't see why we wouldn't want to fix it, but let's figure out how hard it is to actually do it. :)

Yup, tested with <https://master.support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/lutilizzo>.
This looks fixed in kitsune.
