Nothing to do with keyboard layouts. Some fonts have ligatures,
that combine two different characters into one symbol. I actually tried
it on Windows with Thunderbird and "Cascadia Mono" font. Rendering
engine in Thunderbird probably has ligature support enabled and then, if
used font has ligatures for specific symbol, then those are used.

Now, some Office suites do have autoreplace rules to replace "
with language specific quote symbol. But then that replacement does not
depend of font.
