Perhaps you’re thinking of single quotes? I believe the ones used here are double quotes which are used to convey reported speech.

- ithkuil 5y agoI'm talking about the literary device of quoting one word of somebody's speech and inserting it in a text that that person didn't utter. By quoting the word you can make clear that it's meant to be read with the connotation of the quoted person which may not be aligned with the write nor the reader's.
