If such things exists, then mutt.git might be the wrong place to maintain it IMO.
Is such list used in other projects?

Sure, any traces of denglisch should be removed.

Right now " is used, which is probably the most compatible character.
Will all terminals and fonts support these alternative characters?

Sure, either as diff, or as full file with a reference to the used base.
