About this symbol
The closing double quotation mark is shaped like a raised 99, while its partner “ looks like a 66. Word processors swap in the curly pair as you type, and printers and typesetters have always used them.
Quotation marks grew from marks in the margins of fifteenth-century manuscripts that flagged quoted lines; seventeenth-century British printers moved them into the text, around the words themselves.
