  Hi,

Assuming README is a Markdown file, I think there is a typo that changes
the meaning of code section as the closing ` character was probably
mistaken with '.

Enclosed are two images for graphical comparison as seen by a decent
markdown editor.

These are Texinfo quotes (which are derived from TeX's), and they are
used in other places in glibc (and other GNU software).

Thanks,
