Guillemets, French quotation marks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_variation_in_quotation_marks#French), are now available through the special characters tool in VE on fr.wiki.
When you select a word and then add the guillemets in the wikitext editor, the word gets wrapped in them.
This is not the case in VE - the symbols appear, the word gets deleted.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
I confirm this at cs.wp. For the Czech „“ its common, to select a word click on spacial character button and insert quotatin marks arround.

The pairs of quotes appropriate for various languages can be inserted now (“” „“ „” «»), from the "Symbols" section, and if you do it while you have text selected, they will wrap it instead of replacing it.
If you wish to add items supporting this functionality to "Often used" characters list (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Special_characters#Adding_often_used_characters), the required syntax is (replace "A" and "B" with appropriate characters):
"AB": {
"action": {
"type": "encapsulate",
"options": {
"pre": "A",
"post": "B"
}
}
},(Per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.26/Roadmap, this change will be deployed on Wikipedias on Wednesday, 06 May 2015.)
