About the double high-reversed-9 quotation mark symbol

This character is read as a double high-reversed-9 quotation mark, often spoken as a left double quotation mark or opening double quote in certain typographic contexts. It is used primarily in some European languages, such as German and Czech, to indicate the beginning of a quoted passage, where it pairs with a standard closing double quotation mark. In English and other languages, it may appear in academic or stylistic writing to denote nested quotations or specialized quotation styles, though it is less common than the standard double quote.
