Re: U+2018 is not RIGHT HIGH 6

The following thread might be of interest.

Within it is the following sentence that I devised to use eleven punctuation characters.
 
“I saw Jane at the supermarket, in the fruit section: she said ‘Is John still researching?’ and bought a punnet of reddish-orange apricots; then she bought some dates!” said Edith.
 
Edith, John and Jane are story characters from some creative writing of mine from years ago.

I know only a very little German.   
 
Yet would it be helpful to devise some story characters that are in a very short story where some German needs to be spoken and some English needs to be spoken that illustrate the situation being discussed?
 
The text could be set mostly in Roman but with the spoken words and their punctuation in Italic.

Angela has arrived in Mainz and has walked outside the railway station. She looks around.
A taxi driver is nearby.
"TEXT NEEDED HERE" asks the taxi driver, thinking that Angela might be German-speaking and from Germany.
Angela looks at him, not fully understanding.
“Do you need a taxi?” asks the taxi driver, thinking that Angela might be English-speaking and from England.

The part labelled TEXT NEEDED HERE could be something like
 
Brauchen Sie ein Taxi?
 
though I am not precisely sure of that so I have put it in this format so that someone who knows German can patch either it or a corrected version into the text if he or she so chooses.
 
The quotation marks used here above for the German part are U+0022 QUOTATION MARK, though they are just used as placeholders for introducing this idea, so it needs someone to edit the text so as to use the correct punctuation for German if he or she so chooses. I am hoping that this text can be adapted to illustrate the situation and, once adapted, be a useful test for a font or for a pair of fonts, Roman and Italic, using text in more than one language.
 
The story could be extended with the taxi driver asking in many different languages if that would be useful. Please feel free to edit the story as desired.
 
It might be that a story where the TEXT NEEDED HERE part consists of some text with some reported speech within it, so that both double and single quotes are needed.

“Did you call ‘Taxi’ a minute ago?” asks the taxi driver, thinking that Angela might be English-speaking and from England.

I hope that this helps.
