U+FF02 "＂" Fullwidth Quotation Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
＂
U+FF02 "＂" Fullwidth Quotation Mark is a typographic symbol designed for use in East Asian scripts, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where characters occupy a full-width grid space to align with other ideographic text. It visually matches the standard double quotation mark (U+0022) but is twice as wide, enabling it to harmonize with monospaced CJK characters in digital environments. This character is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block in Unicode, and it is typically used to denote direct speech or quotations in text that employs full-width punctuation, ensuring consistent visual spacing and readability in mixed-width documents.
