Where do you define quote marker characters?

Where do you define quote marker characters as ‘valid’? I have ‘curly quote’ markers selected in Checking > Quotation Rules…, but I still get a bijillion ‘Invalid or unknown character’ errors when I run Basic Checks. The various places to define characters is confusing, so I’ve probably missed it somewhere. Thanks for any help!

These must me marked as valid in the Character inventory. You should also look at the punctuation inventory.

Yep. Missed those… [I’m a bit surprised that defining them in ‘Quotation Rules…’ doesn’t automatically mark them as valid characters.] Thanks for pointing them out!
