There's no problem with it in input.

Using it in the _prefilled_ content requires a special method, just as any
inclusion of " into an attribute value delimited with " characters:

<input type = "text" value = "&quot;">

Alternatively, you could use

<input type = "text" value = '"'>

but that's somewhat obscure.

On the other hand, there is _seldom_ reason to include " into the prefilled
(default) content. The idea of using it is probably a wrong approach to the
primary problem, which has not been disclosed.
