- When AI coding assistants edit Markdown files, they often replace typographic quotes with straight quotes. This is intentional—straight quotes are safer for code and avoid encoding issues.
12
+ Claude (including Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code) consistently uses straight quotes (`"`) instead of typographic quotes. This applies to both generated text and edits to existing content. The reason: straight quotes are universally compatible. They work in code, terminals, and forms, avoiding encoding issues that can turn smart quotes into question marks.
