U+201A "" Single Low-9 Quotation Mark is a typographic punctuation mark that resembles a raised comma but sits at the baseline, used primarily in some European languages to indicate the opening of a quotation, often paired with a closing high quotation mark such as U+2019 "'" Right Single Quotation Mark. It appears in languages like Polish, Romanian, and certain varieties of German and French, where it helps distinguish quoted speech or text within a sentence, and it is distinct from the standard apostrophe or comma in both shape and function.
