Unfortunately, there is what I consider a bad design decision in the US/International layout. When it is selected, the '/" key defaults to the versions outside the normal us-ascii charset. Not that this is inherently bad, but all other "extra" characters are tied to the dead-key sequence, except these two. For these, you have to use the dead-key to get the "normal" versions. That is, the versions that most shells expect as quoting characters for command-lines!
