Just use it|s for every context and tell people you're creating a new pronoun.

People often leave the punctuation mark outside quotation marks like this, when it should be inside the quotation marks like this.

I do it that way, but mainly because I don't actually give a fuck about being a grammatically correct purist versus doing what's most aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't actually make logical sense for punctuation to be inside the quotes unless the punctuation is part of the thing being quoted.

(For similar reasons, I'm a huge proponent of the Oxford Comma, and will shank any bitch who says otherwise.)

And honestly, language evolves through usage - so if enough people do it it becomes the correct usage anyway. So people complaining about it are mostly pissing into the wind.
