Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with heavy double comma quotation mark ornament.

Name

No named entity

”

Not `”`

” is ” (U+201D), the standard closing double quote. ❞ is a Dingbats ornament for decoration, not everyday prose.

❝

Opening vs closing

❝ (U+275D) is the heavy double turned (opening) ornament. ❞ is the closing form. Pair them for pull quotes.

Font

Font coverage

Some fonts omit Dingbats. If ❞ is missing, fall back to ” or a font with U+275E coverage.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\275E belongs in CSS strings. ❞ / ❞ belong in HTML.

Add accessible text

Semicolon

End references
