U+301F "〟" Low Double Prime Quotation Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
〟
U+301F "〟" Low Double Prime Quotation Mark is a typographic symbol used in East Asian writing systems, particularly in Japanese and Chinese, to mark the end of a quotation in vertical text. It is visually similar to a double prime or two short diagonal strokes, and it is typically paired with the High Double Prime Quotation Mark U+3003 "〃" or U+301E to enclose quoted passages. This character is distinct from regular quotation marks and is specifically designed for contexts where text is written in a vertical layout, ensuring proper orientation and readability. In horizontal text, it is less common, but it still serves a clear function in traditional and formal typography.
