I know!
It's the reason why I want to murder people that post code online and the code uses curly quotes.

@Dizzy Some languages use the German quotes, some (like French) use these ugly ones: « ... », and I'm probably forgetting at least one other type in Europe

a =「二重鉤括弧」
b = 「『二重鉤括弧』」

But I write strings in my code vertically for readability:

c =
﹁
二
重
鉤
括
弧
﹂

I dislike when you copy code that has straight quotes to send to someone else and the application you’re using to send it to them CONVERTS THEM TO CURLY QUOTES.
