Until now I never used any coding as my editor (EmEditor) on Win XP can show
and save any character including Hebrew etc. I tried “ and “
etc. But also this is turned into strait quotes. What other values are
there?
The wrong ones. :-)
Seriously, there are lots of ways so-called "smart quotes" can get
mangled by various software; for a case in point, see this page:

At least as of right now, it's got some oddball characters where
quotes and apostrophes belong, apparently the result of incorrect
character set conversions.
Personally, I stick to standard-ASCII straight quotes in my own sites;
they may not be as pretty, but they're safe.
