--- Comment #4 from Inkbug <[email protected]> ---
Quotation marks (מרכאות, “”) are used in Hebrew for phrases and quotes.
Gershayim (גרשיים, ״) is used in Hebrew for acronyms.

On a regular Hebrew keyboard, none of these characters are found, and instead
the typewriter double quote (") is used for both (this is also the practice on
the Hebrew Wikisource).

However, it might be possible to differentiate between phrases and acronyms as
follows:
1. If the " character has only one character after it (מלבי"ם), then it should
be considered to be a Gershayim, and the word should be dealt with as an
acronym.
2. Otherwise, it is a quotation mark, and it should be dealt with as a phrase.

This is not foolproof, but it should deal with most of the problems.
