Not a couple of places! It got spreaded by copy/pasting over almost all of .rc files. For what gain? Just because somebody likes "fancy" things?
FWIW, use of "fancy" quotes is sometimes featured in official rules for languages. In German, for example, but likely others, too.
Also, while " and ' have obviously a special meaning for the resource compiler and need to be escaped, I doubt ‘’‚‛“”„「」『』 have, so using them in strings - as far as the codepage allows - shouldn't cause any problems.
