They were fresh glyphs written afterwards. The glyps I got were dependant on the
setting I chose in the second screen (after choosing UTF from the first.) while
doing 'dpkg-reconfigure console-setup'.

I've now got it set to 'Guess optimal character set' which does do the quotes.
It was when choosing the other options i noticed the D shape with a squiggle on
top.

There is also setupcon (man setupcon) which may be of some interest.

Once I got the dlyphs showing correctly I didn't bother with the technicalities
any further --- although what the option 'Guess optimal character set' is actually
doing behind the scenes *may* be an option for further perusal.
