A reference, not an automatic converter

The gallery copies the exact character or pair you select. It does not scan a document, replace straight quotes with curly ones, or decide which punctuation is right for your language, publisher or codebase. Use the style guide for the work you are editing when there is one.

Why code points matter

Many marks look similar in a font but are different Unicode characters. For example, a straight double quote is U+0022, while a left curly double quote is U+201C. Code points make it easier to verify what you pasted when a document, a database, a search query or source code treats the characters differently.

A note on vertical double quotation marks

This curated set includes both U+301D/U+301E and U+301D/U+301F so you can copy the exact pair found in existing text. Unicode’s names list notes that U+301E is a mistaken analogue and U+301F is preferred after U+301D. When authoring new text, check the applicable language or house style and use U+301D/U+301F where that guidance applies.

Choose for the context

Straight quotes are common in plain text and programming syntax. Curly and European forms follow language and editorial conventions. CJK corner, angle and fullwidth forms have their own writing and layout contexts. Decorative marks are visual ornaments, so check that they fit the publication and the font before using them in running text.
