John answered already very clearly. Indeed, single quote are used inside 
guillemets for quotation inside quotation. Note, however, that such cases 
are extremely rare. We'd rather put it that way: (with French punctuation 
rules)
When our teacher told us:
- Caesar said: <<Veni, vidi, vici>>.
I was utterly flabbergasted.

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
