> Since I don't see any way to type a curly quote in

>From wikipedia "Quotation mark glyphs":
‘O’     U+2018 (8216), U+2019 (8217) Single quotes (left and right)
“O”     U+201C (8220), U+201D (8221) Double quotes (left and right)

Thus knowing the codepoints, you can enter them in vim using ctrl-v
u.  For example, to get a right double curly quote type (without
spaces, in insert mode, or on the command line or at the / prompt)

    ctrl-v u 201d

(If ctrl-v is your paste, use ctrl-q).

Another way to find the codepoints is to paste the text in vim, then
use ga (in normal mode) on them.

If you were going to be doing this a lot, mappings in your .vimrc or a
script file might help, f. ex.

    inoremap <f6> <c-v>u201d

HTH, and is relevant, John
