- baddox 15y agoI wouldn't call the right single quotation mark "completely ordinary string data." As far as I know, the only way it would ever get into a tweet is through some "smart correcting" client, or purposeful manual entry.
- zach 15y agoA healthy amount of the writing of the world still begins life in a word processor. Any string born of this heritage is likely to have single and double (curved) quotation marks. OpenOffice, Word, Pages – they all do it and are expected to. For that reason, I consider them to be reasonably present in ordinary string data.
