Try it without quotes, instead:

e.g. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Or with ASCII plain double quotes:

e.g. echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

The page you were quoting from had used typographically correct quotes
(the ones that look like tiny superset 66 and 99 figures), not the ASCII
ones used in programming.
