smart quotes WRONG/unavailable
#8
U+xxxx is the standard Unicode notation when you want to unambiguously talk about a specific character that may or may not be displayable by your readers (lack of proper fonts...). Call it the character's serial number... It also allow you to [utl=https://unicodeplus.com/U+201C]find information about that given character|/url]. But it won't be replaced by the character itself in text applications. 

In modern OSes (Windows, Linux, OSX) the clipboard will contain unicode characters so that you can copy:paste unicode text between applications (you can even copy/paste emojis these days...)

What I want to see is the screenshot when you copy-paste the <>. Wha you can try also is use your "smart quotes" in your word processor and then copy-paste the text from the WP to Gimp.

Otherwise what font is this and what are the character codes for your "smart quotes"?
