History & usage: The character U+276F is the HEAVY RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT. It belongs to the Dingbats block and appears in Common script. In history and use, it serves as a decorative quote sign rather than a standard punctuation mark. It can mark quoted speech or sections of text in a bold or picked style. Writers choose it for visual flair or cultural context when a normal quote is not desired. In many texts, punctuation marks structure text and convey tone; usage conventions differ by style and locale. The ornament can stand in for a quotation or frame a short aside in design work or informal writing. Closely related concepts are brackets and quotes that delimit groups, parameters, or quoted text in writing and code. This ornament is not a universal text component, so it should be used with care. When it appears, it often signals emphasis or a special tone. As a result, editors may limit its use to decorative or specific design contexts. It is helpful in display fonts and artful layouts where language and style meet.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+276F in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
