Word Break - Double Quote

Double Quote is a word boundary indicator used in text segmentation, representing the straight double quotation mark character (U+0022). In breaking rules, it generally functions as a regular punctuation mark, meaning it typically does not start a new word on its own, and it can attach to adjacent letters or numbers without forcing a break. However, its behavior can shift depending on surrounding context, such as when paired with spaces or other punctuation, where it may act as a break point between words. This value helps ensure that quoted phrases remain intact as single units while still allowing sensible line breaks in multilingual and mixed-script text. Its classification is distinct from curly quotes, which have separate handling, and it plays a minor but consistent role in determining where text can wrap or split.
