ASCII does not contain 'curly quotes'. Character 147 (hexadecimal 0x93)
in Windows codepage 1252 [CP1252] (the Microsoft 'extension' of Latin-1
[ISO-8859-1]) is the equivalent of Unicode codepoint U201C (decimal
8220).

Your problem is with encodings. The advice I would give depends on what
your ultimate goal is. (E.g. there are rare cases where I'd recommend
keeping the Windows-y encoding.)

:help 'encoding'
:help 'fileencoding'
