Default How can the SUBSTITUTE function replace a double quote?

Use 4 double quotes: """"

A1 = "Biff"

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"""","")

returns: Biff

Biff

I'm trying to use the SUBSTITUTE function to replace a double quote (")
with
a regular text. The function works well with other special characters but
not the double quote.
