 "Quotation marks" change shape, position, and orientation from one language to another.  In this map, we show the symbols to quote direct speech.

 @7ab8347d Yeah, they're different enough that I typically use them as language identifiers on the fediverse and chats.

 @7ab8347d Well, and here I am doing it all wrong 😹 I don't really care about it, but well.
I also do NOT like the 'curly quotes' because when I type code in lesson material this is a pain, and it breaks code in real life.
I for years have used "Hi!" for things I say, and 'Hey...' for things I think 😀 And always straight! And always at the top of the text 😀
