"Elements of Style" By William Strunk & E.B. White, recommended reading by the UK's Open University ( Distance learning ), doesn't explicitly mention a convention as to where punctuation / quote marks are placed; but each example has the punctuation within the quote marks.
"Four score and seven years ago." And all the acclamations on the rear cover use the same.
As do most of the contributors to The Times (UK) newspaper.
I must admit that until I read this book, and also contributed to this thread, that I was not conscious of any convention. School is obviously far too long ago for me to drag up any memories of what I was, or was not, taught to do.
