Some people call them (double) inverted commas because, in many fonts, they look like upside-down versions of the comma (,)
If you want to write them in HTML or XML, you use the character entity """. In other programming languages, you have to use double double-quotes to get them to appear, in others again you have to prefix with a backslash (\"😉. Getting this right when accepting user input is a huge headache; I suspect that this accounts for the strange effect that this thread is supposed to be about.😕
There used to be (and may still be) a bug of this type concerning single quote marks (also known as apostrophes) in in-game messages: I used sometimes to see a backslash appear in my messages, like this "There\'s something wrong here"
If all the above shows up the way I intend it to, without needing an edit, I'll be amazed.🙄
