About Double Low-9 Quotation Mark

Double Low-9 Quotation Mark is a typographic punctuation mark used in professional publishing and formal writing to replace the plain ASCII approximations (like straight quotes or a hyphen) that typewriters were limited to.

Unicode block: General Punctuation (U+2000–U+206F). This block holds the "smart" typographic punctuation — proper quotation marks, en/em dashes, ellipses, and spacing marks — that go beyond what a physical typewriter keyboard could produce.

At Unicode code point U+201E (decimal 8222), Double Low-9 Quotation Mark is the 31st of 111 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, it has a documented Windows Alt code, though no dedicated single-key Mac shortcut — Mac users generally rely on copy-paste for it. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.

💡 Good to know: Most word processors auto-convert the plain ASCII equivalent into this character as you type (a feature usually called "smart" or "curly" quotes/dashes) — check Autocorrect settings if you need to disable that.
