Etymology
Typographical simplification, particularly due to the use of typewriters, thence followed in computers: rather than having separate opening (“) and closing (”) quotation marks (and other keys for ″ and others), a single square key was used, to reduce the number of keys.
Punctuation mark
"
- Used as a quotation mark in some languages. See " ".
- ״ (gershayim)
- ″ (double prime, as in inches)
- Used after a letter as a nonstandard representation of an umlaut, diaeresis or hungarumlaut, when technical limitations prevent the use of one.
