Try to retype line 6 entirely, there must be a hidden character somewhere.

I see an issue (a "smart quote") at column 16 (not 20) of line 6, which tells me 2 things. You're using a word processor instead of a text editor and the code you posted is not the exact same code that generated the warning.
