K·I·S·S : Just use normal quotes or symbols that any user can access, as opposed to special characters that are not on all keyboards?

I know it looks cool, but ` ` ` isn’t an accessible character and isn’t available to all users.

Having said that, if the system can reliably and automatically detect program code segments, do users STILL need to manually delimit it?
