Comment:

 To reproduce the incorrect quotation marks as shown in the screenshot, the
 search query needs a space at the end.

 The block themes (T23, T24 and T25) use the Query Title block, which
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/86c423a895d2e6a51d121403f40e93b505e3a04a/packages
 /block-library/src/query-title/index.php#L49-L53 surrounds the query] with
 plain quotation marks. When that string runs through `wptexturize`, the
 space before the final quotation mark matches the pattern that replaces it
 with an opening quotation mark.
 `Search results for: “Kitchen Sink QA Page “`

 Trimming spaces, at least on the (right) end, might be reasonable.
 `rtrim( get_search_query() )`

 To change the Query Title block, please open an issue on GitHub.
