hm, anyhow, there has been some discussion on this issue ...

... which had to do with the fact that we need extend the current encoding 
vectors with symbolic names for this.

this is in enco-def:

\startencoding[default]

\definecharacter leftupperninequote   92
\definecharacter rightupperninequote  34
\definecharacter endash              123
\definecharacter emdash              124
\definecharacter hyphen               45

\stopencoding

also with the double ones, and enco-ec and alike should also define them. 
Can you give that a try?

[guillemots also fall in this category]
