Indeed, I am using mkiv... But you should be able to use \char etc. to get
the same effect.
pdftex is not working at the moment here -- see my message to the list --
so I can't test this at the moment, but in pdftex there is
\unicodecharacter{number}
so
\unicodecharacter{27}
should work.
Another option is to use utf8 encoding and insert a zero-width space
(200B) between the 0027's.
Finally: Did you try \dorecurse{5}{{'}}?
{'}{'} should break the dbl-quote just as {f}{i} breaks the fi ligature...
Best wishes
Idris
