Test case for this bug

Take the following Portuguese text: <p>O “refrigerador do deserto” ou “pote no pote” de Bah Abba</p>

Applying a ::first-letter selector to that element results in the quotation mark preceding the following word also being selected. Test case attached.

This bug is present in current versions of Safari on both iOS and macOS.

In the text 
"– Vi er lei av å høre at vi har et problem" Both the en dash and the V should be included.
