It would be quotation marks, usually double quotes, just as in German.
Even Wikipedia (in its entry for Quotation Marks) refers to the use of
quotation not only for actual quotes, but also to denote irony or
unusual usage. Quotes are also used to indicate non-literal or
self-coined meanings, or to emphasize use of the word rather than its
meaning.

Having said that, there are varying levels of literacy in the
English-speaking world. Not everyone will be aware of the other usages
for quotation marks.
