There are many other quote styles - my language uses „these signs” (which we call "ghilimele", similarly to French "guillaumets").
EDIT: Seems HN is eating up the right signs... You can see them on Wikipedia here, they essentially look like two small commas: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghilimele

Yeah, so we could conclude that punctuation is not just a cultural thing, but – to make matters worse – depend on the whims of the font maker as well.
No, both “ and ” characters exist, as well as ".
“Convex” or „concave“ usage varies by language. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Summary_table
