I can't help but notice you are using

    “ (U+201C : LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK {double turned  comma quotation mark})

instead of

    ″ (U+2033 : DOUBLE PRIME {seconds, inches})

in the headline.

It's really more an acute mistake.

I didn't know there was a Unicode code point for that! I'd always thought one should just use straight quotes for inches. Thanks!

Straight quotes are acceptable too: https://practicaltypography.com/foot-and-inch-marks.html

That was exactly the reference I turned up—though I (shamefully) didn't read far enough to see the mention of proper foot and inch marks, only the initial recommendation to use straight quotes.
