--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
This Unicode character is used in Hebrew as a multi-character abbreviation,
number, foreign or special word maker, usually as next to last character in
the word. It is inserted as a shift-" in the Hebrew/Hebrew-Lyx keyboard
formats. Shares a common glyph with inch marks, and some others. This is not a
quotation mark of any style.
Lilypond chokes on this character. If it be in header strings, it may or may
not produce and error, but will prevent any headers from being formatted. If I
escape it with a \, it will then appear but the (Hebrew) characters near it
will produce some blanks or numbers. If it be in lyrics, it will produce a
UTF-8 error (reported in frescobaldi, not in lilypond stderr!) and produce
output similarly to the escaped version in the headers.
Other special Hebrew characters such as diacritics and accents display on the
score, albeit, not as nicely as in most correct UTF8-enabled formatters. I
would expect better in TeX-based formatting.
