U+301E "〞" Double Prime Quotation Mark Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+301E "〞" Double Prime Quotation Mark is a typographic symbol originally used in East Asian scripts, particularly in Japanese and Chinese, to indicate a secondary level of quotation within text or to mark specific names and titles, functioning similarly to a closing double quotation mark in vertical writing systems. It is distinct from other double prime symbols due to its role in traditional and computer-based CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) text formatting, where it is often paired with the opening Double Prime Quotation Mark U+301D to enclose quoted material. In modern usage, it may also appear in horizontal text layouts, though its application remains largely tied to East Asian typographic conventions and historical printing practices.
