From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of Mandarin 河南 (Hénán) incorrectly as Hé'nán.
He'nan
The misspelling He'nan attempts to make clear that 河南 (Hénán) is made up of the two Mandarin syllables he and nan instead of hen and an. However, in theory, this clarification is not needed because the syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號/隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)) should only be added before a non-initial syllable beginning with a, o, or e. Hence, Henan could only ever refer to a word made up of he and nan since a word made up of hen and an would be spelled as Hen'an. In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will.
