Well, the problem is that I can't find anything that actually generates
codes that match the Wikipedia listing.

With a text file like this:

This is a sentence with `foo'.

a2ps gives me

(This is a sentence with `foo'.) p n

Note that the ` is 0x60, not 0x2018, like Wikipedia says it should be.

Perhaps the reason no software out there actually supports this encoding
is that it's not actually used in nature.
