Notes does something like this for some reason. The quotes that are used in the Notes app that are then copy pasted into other apps like Terminal or a code editor are not the same as the quotes we use every day. I think some apps are smart enough to fix this by default (perhaps IntelliJ?) but otherwise it’s the source of a non-negligible amount of annoyance if you like to use Notes for whatever reason

that’s because curly quotes are different characters from the straight quote characters that you can see on your keyboard. Some apps will convert straight quotes to curly quotes to “help” you.

in system settings somewhere you should be able to disable smart quotes (or something like that).
