Right Double 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+201D (decimal 8221), Right Double Quotation Mark is the 30th of 111 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, it is one of the characters in this block with both a documented Windows Alt code and a Mac keyboard shortcut, making it typeable without copy-paste on either platform. 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: Using proper typographic punctuation consistently is considered a mark of professional, well-formatted writing in print and editorial design.
