U+301D "〝" Reversed Double Prime Quotation Mark Unicode Character

U+301D "〝" Reversed Double Prime Quotation Mark is a punctuation symbol used primarily in East Asian typography, particularly in Japanese and Chinese text, to serve as an opening quotation mark. It is visually distinct from a standard double prime or quotation mark because of its reversed, often slightly angled orientation, resembling a mirrored or turned version of a typical double prime glyph. This character is part of the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block and is often paired with its closing counterpart U+301E "〞" to denote quoted speech, titles, or emphasized passages, though its usage has become less common in modern digital contexts where straight quotes prevail.
