For me that PDF is wrong as well, two same quotes (when viewed in my
browser or in xpdf)! However, if I select the text and copy-paste it
here in my terminal, the second one is turned to a back quote:
tchar = "!" / "#" / "$" / "%" / "&" / "'" / "*"
/ "+" / "-" / "." / "^" / "_" / "`" / "|" / " #"
/ DIGIT / ALPHA
; any VCHAR, except delimiters
Ah the joy of extended character sets! I didn't imagine they would one
day go as far as corrupting standards! One day we'll probably see emojis
there :-/
