Enrico, this indeed works too! I'm just wondering about the weird quotes needed
here. Seems like \lccode keeps an associative table of symbols,
and 2019 would be the unicode character to be redefined. Are the first "
(double quote) and last '\ characters always required when using
the \lccode macro? (so " would indicate start of redefinition and \' indicates
en of it?).
Also, the suggestion from Andréa Loyer of adding a \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
directive to my test document:

also results in the correct hyphenation of the l'oscilloscope word in my
test document when using Babel.
Thanks both for the advices. I'll keep this information for when I ever
have problems related with hyphenation with Polyglossia! Now I just need
to find an efficient
way to input the required unicode characters « » directly from Emacs.
