# `Unicode.Category.QuoteMarks`
[๐](https://github.com/elixir-unicode/unicode/blob/v1.22.0/lib/unicode/category/quote_marks.ex#L1)
Functions to return codepoints that form quotation marks. These
marks are taken from the [Wikipedia definition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark)
which is more expansive than the Unicode categories [Pi](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/category/Pi)
and [Pf](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/category/Pf).
The full list of codepoints considered to be quote marks is tabled here.
## Unicode code point table
These are codepoints noted in the Unicode character data base with the flag
`quotation mark = yes`. These are equivalent to the unicode sets `Pi` and `Pf`.
