Docs on iOS's directional quote characters (#132869)

Browse Source 
When you type a single or double quote character on the default iOS keyboard, it doesn't actually insert the usual `'` or `"`.  Instead, it inserts a directional version that tries to match with others.  This is very tricky when allow/deny-listing characters, so I've added a section about this to the docs.
