That seems strange to me. I'm almost tempted to call it a bug.

It should be possible to enter it directly into isearch. I'm not
sure
why that doesn't work (but I'm not surprised, isearch implementation
is a huge crock). What I do when I need to search for something that
isearch doesn't allow to enter is use M-x search-forward.
Well but how to write ”? Copy and paste? That is what I said before, cumbersome.
In the particular case you're talking about I might use a regexp
search: C-u C-s smoo\|reg
Problem is it might be ”smooth or ”regular or whatsoever, the only thing
I now for sure is: it starts with a ”.
