This also introduces a problem where the character you propose requires
support to display. With ASCII, one can be reasonably confident that a
lot of interfaces will be able to display it. But that char (like the
curly quotes you use?) becomes an accessibility issue once the
information has to be displayed on, say, a latin1 terminal (or rather: a
terminal that can't do UCS).

Everything does Unicode nowadays.

I have never seen a Unicode-capable terminal myself, and, while I've not
done much sampling, I doubt they're in any way common or frequent.
