Indeed, wikipedia says it's the double prime symbol:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_(symbol)
http://www.isthisthingon.org/unicode/index.php?page=02&subpage=0&glyph=02033

which is different from quotation marks. I don't know if that plays a role 
here though :)
