" (U+FF02) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Fullwidth Quotation Mark is part of the Symbols family (block: Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: The character FULLWIDTH QUOTATION MARK depicts a quotation mark used with fullwidth characters in certain scripts. It serves to structure text and convey tone, especially when quotes appear within East Asian or mixed scripts. It is used to enclose spoken text, mark dialogue, and indicate quoted material in contexts that require alignment with other fullwidth glyphs. It also reflects style and locale choices, since usage conventions differ by region and publication guidelines. When editing or typesetting, it helps maintain visual rhythm and readability alongside surrounding fullwidth characters. Across digital interfaces, it can appear in search fields, chat windows, or documents that mix fullwidth and standard characters, so consistency matters for readers. For accessibility, ensure clear contrast and predictable rendering across platforms to aid screen readers and assistive tech.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+FF02 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.
