 @cindex curved quotes
 When a documentation string refers to a Lisp symbol, write it as it
-would be printed (which usually means in lower case), surrounding it
-with curved single quotes (@t{‘..’}).  There are two exceptions: write
-@code{t} and @code{nil} without surrounding punctuation.  For example:
+would be printed (which usually means in lower case), with a grave
+accent @samp{`} before and apostrophe @samp{'} after it.  There are
+two exceptions: write @code{t} and @code{nil} without surrounding
+punctuation.  For example:
 
 @example
- CODE can be ‘lambda’, nil, or t.
+ CODE can be `lambda', nil, or t.
 @end example
 
-@noindent
-@xref{Quotation Marks,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}, for how to
-enter curved single quotes.

-Documentation strings can also use an older single-quoting convention,
-which quotes symbols with grave accent @t{`} and apostrophe
-@t{'}: @t{`like-this'} rather than @t{‘like-this’}.  This
-older convention was designed for now-obsolete displays in which grave
-accent and apostrophe were mirror images.
-Documentation using this convention is converted to the user's
-preferred format when it is copied into a help buffer.  @xref{Keys in

+Note that when Emacs displays these doc strings, Emacs will usually
+display @samp{`} (grave accent) as @samp{‘} (left single quotation
+mark) and @samp{'} (apostrophe) as @samp{’} (right single quotation
+mark), if the display supports displaying these characters.
