Hm, I have some .rc files here with "" that work just fine with MS' rc.
rc doesn't support embedded or escaped quotes at all. So statements like
LTEXT "String with "quotes"",-1,7,7,120,8
or
LTEXT "String with \"quotes\"",-1,7,7,120,8
don't work.
(Tho maybe it's braindead enough to have it supportted in one place but
not some other.)
And what about other substitutes, like \x22 or \042?
No, that doesn't help.

But when they exists in the codepage commonly used for a locale, I don't
think there is a reason not to employ them?
That would create an additional problem for translators IMO.
