In fact I was wondering about a typographic rule, I was wondering if
people used to put quotes cause they could not "emphasize" the character
via any rendering.
I just looked at a (french) typographic book, it seems (nothing is
stated) they use quotes for a single character, on another typographic
book no quotes...  I will reread them on tomorrow morning.
