History & usage: HEAVY LOW SINGLE COMMA QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT (code point 275F, U+275F) is a punctuation mark in the Dingbats block used for decorative quotes. It sits in the general class of quotation marks. Its form is designed to resemble an ornamental comma at the base of a quote. In history, such marks have appeared in various fonts and symbol sets for visual flair, but they are not standard in everyday writing. The character belongs to the Common script family and is part of a larger set of quirky punctuation found in many keyboards and type designs. Its practical role is to function as a quotation ornament more than as a primary quote delimiter. Usage today depends on the writing style and locale. Punctuation marks structure text and convey tone; usage conventions differ by style and locale.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+275F in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
