All self-respecting journalistic outlets use proper symbols. Where does the LLM get their opinions on “foreign affairs” from? Probably from the likes of New York Times like a standard lib...
And it shouldn’t be hard for an LLM to learn to use proper symbols when synthesizing content from the everyman. It’s not like it works on the level of literal copy and paste.

Yeah that's a big problem with LLMs at the moment - people are having an argument online, and one of them posts a piece of text from an LLM and says "see, Grok/ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini agrees! You're wrong!", which only reveals how much they did not do their homework and that they're arguing on the basis of hear-say, just like the LLM; the LLM has no mind of its own. If 90% of the internet says A, it will defend A to the death. What's not part of the equation is how much of that 90% has the same source, financed by a certain group.
