quotes are not handled properly in monospace mode

[ghprince]

Orgmode::Parser.new("~a~").to_html # => "<p><code>a</code></p>\n" Correct
Orgmode::Parser.new("~'~").to_html # => "<p>~&#8217;~</p>\n" Incorrect
Orgmode::Parser.new('~"~').to_html # => "<p>~&#8221;~</p>\n" Incorrect

I come here because https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/master/contrib/shell/README.org
shows strange behaviour

The quotes inside ~ (tilde) symbols issue, might have been fixed, because SPC ' is shown correctly on the Spacemacs shell layer page: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/582f9aa45c2c90bc6ec98bccda33fc428e4c6d48/layers/%2Btools/shell#key-bindings

But a similar thing is occurring with quotes inside verbatim symbols (equal signs).

For example:
Press =cs”’= inside

should be shown as:
Press cs”’ inside

but the = equals signs are visible.

However, there seems to be one case where a quote doesn't make the equal signs appear.
It's in the next example on the same evil-surround page:
Now press cs'<q> to change it to

cs'<q> is shown as markdown inline code.

Unfortunately, the root cause behind why ~'~ and ~"~ renders this way is due to the official org-syntax specification for text markup. See gist for examples related to issue #48.

I reported this issue to the Org mode developers and the spec is now updated and allows any characters but whitespace in the border - https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html#Emphasis_Markers.
