Often called book quotes, curly quotes are quotation marks that are curved rather than straight. Since they are curved, the left and right quotation marks display differently, where straight quotes appear the same. Some examples are shown below.
| Quote type | Example |
|---|---|
| Curly double quotes |  |
| Curly single quotes |  |
| Straight double quotes | " " |
| Straight single quotes | ' ' |
