Description

The Unicode character U+275D, known as the HEAVY DOUBLE TURNED COMMA QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT, is a typographical element that serves an aesthetic function in digital text. It features two inverted commas with a decorative twist and is often used for embellishing quotations or dialogue in literary works, particularly when a heavier, more ornate style is desired. Though not commonly found in everyday digital communication, its use can provide an enhanced visual appeal to text-based art or designs. The HEAVY DOUBLE TURNED COMMA QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT has no specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context and is primarily utilized for its decorative value. It is important to note that its usage may vary depending on the platform's support for Unicode characters, as it might not be available in certain fonts or rendering systems.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10077 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+275D. 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+275D to binary: 00100111 01011101. 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:
    11100010 10011101 10011101
