On Edit: I don't know why that stupid smiley face shows in the article. It doesn't show in the linked article. I tried a number of ways to eliminate it, but to no avail. Update: Now fixed!! With just a slight adjustment.

1. DU renders a ending quotation mark with an immediate end parenthesis that way. Add a space

betweeen the quotation end mark and the end parenthesis.
