U+201E Double Low-9 Quotation Mark

U+201E was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+2000 to U+206F General Punctuation in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Open Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as low double comma quotation mark.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+201E prohibits a line break after it.

The CLDR project calls this character “low right quotation mark” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: double quote, low quotation, quotation, quote, smart quotation.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Quotation marks are punctuation marks used in pairs in various writing systems to identify direct speech, a quotation, or a phrase. The pair consists of an opening quotation mark and a closing quotation mark, which may or may not be the same glyph. Quotation marks have a variety of forms in different languages and in different media.
