Works fine for me (shows up as normal quotes, not fancy quotes).

    the screen shot is internally correct/not doctored. it uses smart quotes, which bash doesn't interpret, so echo then just repeats them back, which says the author copy and pasted from a draft that already had quotes replaced by smart quotes.
