A Little Grub Mystery - Why is it printing `Archlinux' on bootup?

Hello!

I wonder now for some time why Grub 2.x prints

`Archlinux'

instead of

'Archlinux'

during bootup? It does so on UEFI and BIOS based systems. That is weird neutral

/boo/grub/grub.cfg on a BIOS based system:

menuentry 'Arch Linux' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-2738a24f-06b7-4957-99aa-ce86a680e17b' {
	load_video
	set gfxpayload=keep
	insmod gzio
	insmod part_msdos
	insmod ext2
	set root='hd0,msdos1'
	if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-ieee1275='ieee1275//disk@0,msdos1' --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1  2738a24f-06b7-4957-99aa-ce86a680e17b
	else
	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 2738a24f-06b7-4957-99aa-ce86a680e17b
	fi
	echo	'Loading Linux linux ...'
	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=2738a24f-06b7-4957-99aa-ce86a680e17b rw  loglevel=3 quiet
	echo	'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
	initrd	/boot/initramfs-linux.img
}

Any idea? It is working fine for many years now but I wondern about that usage of backtick and the single quotation mark combined.
Thank you

Looks like LaTeX quotation marks!
