Those work in Raku, with the exception of ‟at least two styles”.

# DOUBLE HIGH-REVERSED-9 QUOTATION MARK
# RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
If you use one type of quote, you can use the others inside of it with no problem.
“double "quotes"”
(Raku doesn't use a tokenizer.)
Also note that you can use a variety of characters for quoting if you use `q`, `qq` or `Q` etc.
q>>> eq '1
Note that many Unicode characters which have a LEFT and RIGHT variant will also be paired when you do that. q⦑like this⦒
In Raku string literals are actually a [parameterized domain specific language](https://docs.raku.org/language/quoting). (The domain of creating strings.)
my $buffer = Blob.new(115,116,114,105,110,103); # 'string'.encode()
Q # start with raw quoting
:scalar # enable embedding the value of scalars
:backslash # enable backslashing characters
[This is a $buffer.decode()\n]
There are shortcuts for common uses
'single' eq q [single] eq Q :single [single] eq Q :q [single]
‘single’ eq ‚single’
"double" eq qq [double] eq Q :double [double] eq Q :qq [double]
“double” eq „double”
｢raw｣ eq Q [raw]
eqv qw [ words ] eqv q :words [ words ]
> eqv qqww [ quote words ] eqv Q :double :quotewords [ quote words ]
« quote words »
This is not exhaustive.
:double is actually short for :scalar :array :hash :function :closure :backslash
:words splits on whitespace
:quotewords splits on whitespace but respects quoted sections
q :words [ a "b c" ] eqv ( 'a', '"b', 'c"' )
q :quotewords [ a "b c" ] eqv ( 'a', 'b c' )
Note that :double is the same as any adverb in the language, so you can negate a feature with :!double.
qq [with newline\n]
qq :!backslash [without newline\n]
qq :!array [user@example.com()]
(It's actually rather difficult to accidently use @ or % variables.)
