Hint on unknown escape of Unicode quotation marks in string literal

Code

dbg!("since when is \“THIS\” not allowed in a string literal");

Current output

error: unknown character escape: `\u{201c}`
 --> src/main.rs:2:26
  |
2 |     dbg!("since when is \“THIS\” not allowed in a string literal");
  |                          ^ unknown character escape
  |
  = help: for more information, visit <https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/tokens.html#literals>
help: if you meant to write a literal backslash (perhaps escaping in a regular expression), consider a raw string literal
  |
2 |     dbg!(r"since when is \“THIS\” not allowed in a string literal");
  |          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

error: unknown character escape: `\u{201d}`
 --> src/main.rs:2:32
  |
2 |     dbg!("since when is \“THIS\” not allowed in a string literal");
  |                                ^ unknown character escape

Desired output

error: unknown character escape: Unicode "Left Double Quotation Mark" (`\u{201c}`)
 --> src/main.rs:2:26
  |
2 |     dbg!("since when is \“THIS\” not allowed in a string literal");
  |                          ^ unknown character escape
  |
  = help: Unicode quotation marks (“ ”) do not need to be escaped as they do not terminate a string literal.
help: remove the backslash
  |
2 |     dbg!(r"since when is “THIS” not allowed in a string literal");
  |          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

error: unknown character escape: Unicode "Right Double Quotation Mark" (`\u{201d}`)
 --> src/main.rs:2:32
  |
2 |     dbg!("since when is \“THIS\” not allowed in a string literal");
  |                                ^ unknown character escape
  |
  = help: Unicode quotation marks (“ ”) do not need to be escaped as they do not terminate a 
string literal.

Rationale and extra context

I copied some text from a webpage to add to an error message, and noticing the quotation marks (which are indistinguishable from ASCII double-quotes in the monospaced font I'm using), I proactively added backslash-escapes and then spent the next ten minutes scratching my head and wondering why the compiler was complaining.

I thought this might be some obtuse Clippy lint, suggesting raw string literals over escapes, before I realized it was an actual parse error.

Seeing as there's a help message for the Greek Question Mark (;), this would also be nice to have.
