@cindex curved quotes, inserting
A few common Unicode characters can be inserted via a command
-starting with @kbd{C-x 8}. For example, @kbd{C-x 8 [} inserts @t{‘}
+starting with @w{@kbd{C-x 8}}. For example, @kbd{C-x 8 [} inserts @t{‘}
which is Unicode code-point U+2018 @sc{left single quotation mark},
sometimes called a left single ``curved quote'' or ``curly quote''.
Similarly, @w{@kbd{C-x 8 ]}}, @kbd{C-x 8 @{} and @kbd{C-x 8 @}} insert the
@cindex curved quotes, and terminal capabilities

One common way to quote is the typewriter convention, which quotes
-using straight apostrophes @t{'like this'} or double-quotes @t{"like
+using straight apostrophes @samp{'like this'} or double-quotes @samp{"like
this"}. Another common way is the curved quote convention, which uses
-left and right single or double quotation marks `@t{like this}' or
-``@t{like this}''@footnote{
+left and right single or double quotation marks @t{‘like this’} or
+@t{“like this”}@footnote{
The curved single quote characters are U+2018 @sc{left single quotation
mark} and U+2019 @sc{right single quotation mark}; the curved double quotes
are U+201C @sc{left double quotation mark} and U+201D @sc{right double
@code{electric-quote-chars}, a list of four characters, where the

type @kbd{C-q `} or @kbd{C-q '} instead of @kbd{`} or @kbd{'}. To
