Quotes matter to the shell, not to the terminal. And the only kinds
of quotes that the shell cares about are ASCII single and double
quotes (' and " respectively).
Unicode curly quotes are not considered quotes by any shell. They're
just random un-special characters, like q or 5 or ñ.

Look for "chroot" in your ~/.bashrc and see how it's currently being
done. Make sure you understand each command, and what it does.
