U00BB

U+00BB, named the RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK, is a punctuation character used primarily as the closing quotation mark in languages that employ guillemets. It is normally paired with U+00AB, the LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK, to enclose quoted text, as in opening and closing guillemets like « text ».

In Unicode, U+00BB belongs to the Latin-1 Supplement block. Its UTF-8 encoding is the two-byte sequence C2 BB. In HTML, it is commonly represented as » or by numeric references such as » or ».

Usage and typography vary by language and region. Guillemets are a standard quotation convention in many European languages, including French, Italian, and Spanish, as well as certain other languages that adopt similar punctuation. The left guillemet (U+00AB) marks the opening quote, while the right guillemet (U+00BB) marks the closing quote. Typographic rules may differ in spacing and in how they interact with surrounding punctuation, depending on local conventions and font design.

Accessibility and input: U+00BB is widely supported in modern fonts and operating systems, but it is not part of basic ASCII. It can be inserted using Unicode input methods, or via HTML entities (»), depending on the platform and software being used. Rendering depends on font support; most comprehensive Unicode fonts include the glyph.
