In XSLT 2:

or more simply just:
"//*[contains(., 'What'' that?')]"
In XSLT 1:
"//*[contains(., 'What' that?)]"
But be careful because the above selects the document element which will contain all text in its value.
" is " - the double quote
' is ' - the apostrophe (single quote)
I hope this helps.

There was a typo in my last email, '%22' works for " "/*/*/*[contains(normalize-space(.),'%22')])" and '%27' does not work for ' ( the %22 gets converted to " character by unescape(s) )
This is not true for XPath. The "%" notation is not recognized.

Good idea to break this up and concatenate. But the basic problem remains, how to match for the single " ?
\"'\" does not work :-(

"//*[contains(., concat('What','''',' that?'))]"

"//*[contains(., 'What' that?)]"
