You are likely copying characters that do not belong in a website's
character set. This is a common beginner's problem.
Quotes in written material are often a matched pair. It is possible to
get these in HTML as well but requires using special escape sequences. For
unmatched double quotes (opening and closing look the same) use """.
Search the web for other quote combinations.
I am not sure why commas are a problem. I did not know there are
"special" commas. But I suspect the problem is the same.

CSS has nothing to do with character sets and representation.
