Kaynakayraç

Kaynakayraç is a term used in Turkish to refer to a specific punctuation mark, often translated as an "angle bracket" or "chevrons." It is characterized by its pointed, V-like shape, opening either to the left (<) or to the right (>).

These marks are primarily employed for enclosing or highlighting specific pieces of information within text. In Turkish typography, kaynakayraç are frequently used to denote quotation, particularly when the quoted material is embedded within a larger sentence or when it is a brief, non-integral phrase. They can also serve to draw attention to a particular word or phrase, acting as a visual emphasis tool.

Beyond simple quotation, kaynakayraç can appear in technical contexts. For example, in certain programming languages or markup languages, angle brackets are fundamental for defining tags and elements. In academic or linguistic analysis, they might be used to represent phonetic transcriptions or specific linguistic notations. The usage can vary depending on the specific field or publication style guide. While not as common as quotation marks in everyday prose, kaynakayraç fulfill a distinct role in providing clarity and emphasis in specific situations.
