You can tell cuz it is all curvy and cutie-pie -- it does *not* close the quoted string because it is just-another-unicode-character with no special meaning ... you need to enter a closing quote-mark in order to terminate the quoted string ... ’ is not a closing quote. A closing quote looks like this ' and matches the opening quote that you used. I also doubt that a text mode program used the … character in its prompt for more input (especially since the two lines above that use three ascii periods (...) and not the single-character-unicode … .
