Description

U+301D, the Reversed Double Prime Quotation Mark, is a typographical character found within the Unicode standard. In digital text, its primary usage is to denote an inverted quotation mark. The symbol can be observed reversing the orientation of the double prime quotation mark (U+2032), which usually points upwards or to the right. This specific character is not commonly used and does not serve a particular cultural, linguistic, or technical role that sets it apart from other quotation marks. The Reversed Double Prime Quotation Mark's limited use can be attributed to its less frequent need in digital text representation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 12317 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+301D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+301D to binary: 00110000 00011101. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
    11100011 10000000 10011101
