Quotation marks
------------------------------

German:
»«
›‹
„“
‚‘

Warning: Apostrophe is not a closing quotation mark!
German and English apostrophe: ’
An apostrophe looks like a superscript German opening quotation mark.

Both for comparison: ‘’

Ellipses (mostly German): …

Halbgeviertstrich (en-dash): –


English quotation marks:
“”
‘’

Interesting equivalence: English opening = German closing. Same UTF-8 character.
