I think it's a "Europe minus UK" thing, but I don't know for sure. Pretty certain though that the French write it like that too.
I've never seen it written that way in Spain nor France, so maybe it's a Germanic language thing?
Maybe they are confusing it with ^ in your writing and don’t realize you’re just writing a regular 1.
In France we write it both way and AFAIK there is no "recommanded" or "better" way.
But then again the French put speech inside these <<>> which is just inconsiderate imo 🤧
Funnily enough we have these in Spanish as well, but we don't use them for dialogue. For that we use a simple line (— or –). We also refer to « » as comillas españolas or Spanish quotations
