Comment:

 Hi @mac79, thanks for the bug report.

 File names with special characters are a bit tricky. WordPress tries to
 sanitize them so they are compatible with all OS (MacOS, Windows, Linux,
 Android, iOS, etc.), all languages/locales, and with web use/HTML.

 The last change to the list of illegal characters that added curly quotes
 was about a year ago, see #50231. Also see
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/sanitize_file_name/
 for the whole list. Best would be to rename your files before uploading
 and avoid these chars.

 Closing as worksforme as this is a feature, not a bug. If you believe the
 patch on #50231 should be reverted feel free to reopen this ticket with
 reasons, examples, etc.
