Typing quote characters
So I am a developer and often I connect to Teamviewer for working with Java/C++, etc assignments. I have it set up so I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard connected to iPad . The issue is some characters like quotation marks (") are not typed in the right form.
For example , if I do it on my computer locally , the quotes appear as ASCII ( " " " ")
But when I do it with Teamviewer it's showing unicode quotes (“ ” “ ”).
So the compiler sees it as an error. It's very annoying when you're a developer.

If you hold down the character key (example: “double quote”) on the virtual keyboard, different versions of that character will show where you can select the correct version.
The default character key may be ascii/unicode where your program requires the alternate character.

iOS/iPadOS by default generates curly quotes using virtual or physical keyboards: “”
This is the default behaviour, nothing to do or related to TeamViewer. You can change this behaviour to generate always atraigan, regular (ASCII) quotes: ""
In Settings > General > Keyboard, disable Smart punctuation, source:
Same problem here using iPad Pro M2 with Magic Keyboard, when using TeamViewer to connect to a Windows Machine for coding/scripting, curly quotation marks produces a terrible writing experience as have to replace them constantly.
