​This string taken verbatim gives me a syntax error. The reason is that it uses

UTF-8 double quotation marks ( ​342 200 235 and 342 200 234) instead of ascii.

 cat tstr.txt
text(25, 18, "RWR & SCHH”, “fontsize”, 12, “fontweight”, “bold”);

Replacing them with an ASCII (") or single quote (') , gives me the expected

result.
