Description
In our class today a student's chromebook was, for some reason, set to use the international keyboard setting.
As a result she got an error nag about needing to use "s for her href attribute because the double-quotes were typed with international characters. The tag was visibly correct. Switching the chromebook to US Keyboard setting fixed the issue with visibly different " characters in the IDE.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the error in the HTML/CSS/JavaScript editor with international keyboard quote characters in an href attribute. Trace where the current quote-related error is generated and define a message that explains the visually similar characters and the expected quote characters; done means the message is more useful for this case.
