Source: Browser Default
U+201E "„" Double Low-9 Quotation Mark is a typographic glyph used as an opening quotation mark in several European languages, including German, Polish, and Romanian, where it typically appears at the baseline level before quoted text. It visually resembles two small commas or a pair of low-9 digits aligned at the bottom of the line, distinguishing it from standard high quotation marks. This character is part of the General Punctuation block in the Unicode standard and is often paired with a closing high quotation mark, such as U+201C or U+201D, to frame a quote. Its design supports cultural and regional typesetting conventions, ensuring clear and correct punctuation in multilingual digital text.
