I've checked this patch and it doesn't apply anymore. Also note that
your solution was twitter only. Please make sure that this is still an
issue in the latest release and then resubmit the patch.

Title:
  html entities for left/right double quotation mark shown in twitter
  feed

Status in Gwibber:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The issue can be seen here:

  The attached patch fixed the problem, but it hasn't been fully tested.
  It only converts character references, so I don't think it will break anything in the html_string, but I could be wrong.
  I'm not sure why the character reference wasn't rendered in WebKit properly, and that is a much more difficult problem to solve.

  The unescape function could probably be pushed out to
  post_process_message, but I'm not sure how other protocols format
  their text.

  Once patched, the tweet renders as expected:
