[edit] Etymology

Typographical simplification, particularly due to the use of typewriters, thence followed in computers: rather than having separate opening (") and closing (") quotation marks (and other keys for ″ and others), a single square key was used, to reduce the number of keys.

[edit] Alternative forms

  • " (as opening quotation mark), " (as closing quotation mark), ״ (as gershayim), (as ditto mark), (as double prime)

[edit] Symbol

"

  1. " (opening quotation mark)
  2. " (closing quotation mark)
  3. ״ (gershayim)
  4. (ditto mark) Used in lists or tables to indicate a repetition of appropriate content above
  5. (double prime, as in inches)
