You bring up an intersting point.  We don't know from quote marks if it's a written quote or spoken quote.  We need a different symbol.  We'll make that `"yak yak yak"`, unless there is a precedent.  The symbol (`) is located on my keyboard at top row left with the tilde (~).  I don't know the name.
