„Quote »inside ’inside of inside’ inside« quote”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Hungarian

3rd level quotation is used only scientific articles, not a common thing. But transliteration of the apostrophe (the same character) seems to be useful. In fact, the apostrophe is more frequent in foreign brands, e.g. McDonald’s. In old Hungarian literature, abbreviation of words, e.g. „Pista bá’”, but it seems, now it’s not used any more:

Steps to Reproduce:
The “Old Hungarian template document with embedded Noto Old Hungarian font”[1] (from LibreOffice 7.0 Release Notes[2]) no longer transliterates punctuation marks (i.e. commas, question marks) as shown in the “Screencast demonstration”[3] with Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon and LibreOffice[4].

> 2nd level quotation is mirrored, so we don't need to transliterate them (otherwise we could got the French-like «text»).

Maybe there should be a unit test for the 2nd level quotation marks to *not* transliterate them?

Thank you once again.
