I found examples of this in the jargon file. It seems to be some kind of
emphasis of the text. I compared with pure html versions and it seems
that there single quotes are used, like in
http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/F/foo.html

dict: ?Fucked Up Beyond All Repair?
html: ‘Fucked Up Beyond All Repair’

This seems to be caused by the convertion process of the jargon file
into the dictionary format (maybe by limitations of ASCII).

We could do some post-processing on the text returned by the server
(which is already done to mark links). But the pattern would be quite
complex and most likely specific to the dictionary used.
