Developer Console fails to recognize Quotation Marks on Mobile

When using the Developer Console on my mobile device to fire a BindableEvent, that takes an input message and prints it out, it fails to identify quotation marks and double quotation marks. The console provides an error message that fails to recognize the symbols used.

This issue prevents me from running events that take String inputs in any of my games on live servers.

Expected behavior

Here is the expected result, which works perfectly on my PC:

I’m sure these even on PC would give an error. Maybe using keyboard of another language and the asci symbol is different. The correct ones are ’ " `

This isn’t a problem with the console. Quotation marks on mobile - atleast, with IOS, I don’t know about android - are not the same ones as on keyboard, so they aren’t recognized by the luau parser. though it does know that it is a confusable.

If you’re on IOS, you can use the correct quotation marks by doing a long press then selecting the first option. It’s a bit tedious but thats the best we have I think.

Thank you for your input. After trying a few times, this seems to be the correct solution. Tedious, but it works.
