How to put Christmas tree quotes in Word and browser - all the ways

Hello, friends! I continue to write about how to write various symbols on the keyboard. Of course, I only mean those symbols that are not on it. And today I will show you how to put Christmas tree quotes on the keyboard. I will show it for the Windows operating system. In addition, I will show you how to put Christmas tree quotes on a phone (smartphone) with the Android operating system.

When we put quotes in any text document by pressing Shift + 2, they look like this - “quotes”. Such quotation marks are called American. Or, in other words, computer quotes. I don’t know about you, but it’s much more pleasant for me to see quotes like these in the text. They are called double quotes. But among our people they are called Christmas tree quotes. Now I will show you several ways to set such quotation marks on the keyboard.

Apply ALT code

This was not the last way to make square brackets on the keyboard using code. This time we will use the so-called ALT code. It is easier to work with, and, in general, it is universal; it can be entered not only in the Word program, but also outside it.

In the image above you will see a table with some ALT codes, but we are only interested in square brackets, and, as you can see, their code is 91 and 93. By the way, the name “ALT code” was given for a reason. When using this method, you need to hold down the ALT key and, while holding it, enter the numbers that correspond to the desired character.

However, there are some nuances here: numbers must be entered not on the top numeric keypad, but on the one located on the right, otherwise nothing will work.

Applying the symbol table

There is another method for entering quotation marks - using a symbol table. To do this you should do the following:

1. We launch this utility, to do this we find it through the search bar.
2. In the search engine, enter: “Symbol table” and press “Enter”.

   In the search engine, enter: “Symbol table” and press “Enter”.

3. When the search is completed, you need to find this utility in the list and launch it using the mouse or the Enter key.
4. In the window that appears, use the navigation keys to find the required type of quotes (“foot” or “herringbone”) and make a copy of it to the clipboard by pressing the keys "Ctrl" and "C".

   In the window that appears, use the navigation keys to find the required type of quotes (“foot” or “herringbone”) and make a copy of it to the clipboard by pressing the “Ctrl” and “C” keys.

5. Now you need to go to the required tab.
6. In the case when it is open, we will use the key combination “Alt” and “Tab”.
7. In another situation, launch the application using the Start/Programs menu.
8. Then we insert the symbol into the desired place - press the “Ctrl” and “V” keys.

We press the key combinations listed above only on the English version of the keyboard. Otherwise nothing will work.

There are alternative keyboard layouts optimized for entering typographic characters, including quotes (see, for example, the typographic layout of Ilya Birman, official and unofficial versions of which available for various operating systems). Most text editors, such as the proprietary Microsoft Office, the free OpenOffice and LibreOffice and many others, can be configured to automatically convert “simple quotes” into “Christmas trees” or “foot quotes”.

X Window System

In the X Window System (which is often used in UNIX-like operating systems, in particular those based on the Linux kernel), to type the French quote character, you must first press Compose, then twice < or twice >, depending on which side quotes should be facing.

Windows

In Windows, you need to enable Num Lock, after which typing on the numeric keypad works Alt+0171, Alt+0187 for « »

, and Alt+0132, Alt+0147 for
„ “
respectively.
To type the English double closing quotation mark ( ”
) use Alt+0148, for single (
' '
) use Alt+0145 and Alt+0146 respectively.

In some European layouts, entering Christmas trees is possible using the combinations AltGr+ and AltGr+ (American international), AltGr+z and AltGr+x (Canadian international).

Mac OS X

In the standard Russian layout of Mac OS X, quotes are typed using the following keyboard shortcuts:

Quotes in the word processor "Word"

All the ways to put square brackets in Word

Another way to enter quotation marks is in the symbols window in the Word word processor. Here, when typing text, you can use the method described above. One difference: if the Russian language is activated, “Christmas trees” will appear, and if English is used, “paws” will appear. However, you can use another method of administration. To do this you need to take the following steps:

1. If you have a Word window open, go to the Insert tab.

   If you have a Word window open, go to the Insert tab.

2. Find the “Symbol” field, and in it there is a drop-down menu with the same name.

   Find the “Symbol” field, and in it there is a drop-down menu with the same name.

3. Here select the “Other symbols” sub-item.

   Here select the “Other symbols” sub-item.

4. Using the navigation keys, find the required type of symbol and select them with a marker.
5. Press the Tab key until the highlighted character moves to the Run button and press Enter.
6. Press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press Enter again.

This method of entering quotes is the most difficult. In addition, for such an introduction you need a special program - the word processor “Word”. However, this allows the user to select symbol types.

How to put Christmas tree quotes

IMPORTANT! Methods for printing Christmas tree quotes in popular programs:

Word: in order for the Christmas tree quotes to appear in the text of the document, you need to check whether the layout for the Russian language is enabled in the lower right corner of the screen, and with this layout press and hold the SHIFT button; then press the number button 2 - the sign “ should be displayed. After this, a word is written that will be displayed in quotation marks. Next, press and hold the SHIFT key again, and press button 2. HELP! The SHIFT key must be held down, not pressed, one or more times, and press 2 (SHIFT + 2) at the same time as SHIFT.

Excel: since this editor is not a text editor, the method for Word will not work. The simplest method in this case is to copy the herringbone quotation mark from Word and paste it into Excel. If the document already has quotes of a different type (English double quotes, for example), then you need to hold CTRL, press H (CTRL + H) and replace the character with the symbol "or " copied from Word. Photoshop: similar to Excel - copy the desired character (" or ") from Word.

Using the keyboard

Youtube is buggy and lags in the Yandex browser: causes and solutions to the problem

The square brackets on a standard size keyboard are located in the upper right corner. To the right of them is the Enter key, and to the left are the usual letters. You can enter this character only when the Latin layout is enabled. In Russian, the left square bracket corresponds to the letter “x”, and the right one to “b”. Therefore, to type them you need to switch to English.

The algorithm for setting square brackets in this case is as follows:

1. Switch the input system layout until English appears. In this case, the abbreviation En will appear on the language bar. The easiest way to complete this step is with the mouse. But you can also use a special key combination, which is set in the system software settings. This could be, for example, Alt + Shift or Ctrl + Shift.
2. Next, place the cursor at the place in the interface where you need to type the element being considered within the material.
3. At the next stage, we simply press those buttons on the peripheral input device that correspond to the character being entered. After this, it will appear in the information set field.

Quote codes

We use the formula

So, we are already done with how to make square brackets on the keyboard, but this is not the last way to enter them. Now we will talk about the most rarely used one, the one that is used when typing formulas in Word.

From the title it is immediately clear that it is initially necessary to start creating that very formula. This can be done using the hot keys ALT+"+". A field for entering formulas will appear, and the formula designer will open in the panel at the top. In it you need to click on the “Bracket” button and select square brackets from the drop-down menu. Now in the box between them you can enter text or type some example.

Backtick single quote on keyboard

They are located on the computer keyboard in the same place as the letter E (in the Russian layout) - in the upper left under the “Esc” key.

Paired punctuation is primarily used to convey ironic meaning or to highlight quotations, direct speech, and references. It happens that the author puts words or phrases in quotation marks because the term he uses is not known to everyone, or tries to emphasize the meaning of the phrase in an unusual sense, thereby probably ridiculing some character from his story. In the variations below, the user will be able to choose the appropriate way to write a punctuation mark and easily put quotation marks in Word. There are several types that have individual names and can be found in any text document.

Using ALT code

Now the most universal method will be discussed; it allows you to put square brackets not only in the Word program, but also outside it, unlike previous methods. Now let's talk about how to put square brackets in Word 2010. However, this version will be given as an example, and all the manipulations performed will be suitable for absolutely everyone.

First, let’s clarify the codes of these two symbols themselves:

• for the opening one - 91;
• for the closing one - 93.

Knowing the code, you can safely start entering it. First, place the cursor in the desired location, then, holding down the ALT key, start entering the code. After you release ALT, the desired symbol will appear.

We use hexadecimal code

Hexadecimal code will allow you to enter the desired character much faster, unlike the previous method. But its use may seem more complicated to some, but the main thing is to understand everything. Now we’ll figure out how to put square brackets in Word using hexadecimal code.

In fact, we already talked about it in the article when we searched for the desired sign in the symbol table. Then it was necessary to write the sign code - 005B or 005B. These are the hexadecimal codes for the opening and closing square brackets. Now we need to explain how to enter them into the document itself.

So, first decide where you will open the bracket. Place the cursor in that place and enter the appropriate code. After this, all you have to do is press the desired key combination - ALT+X. To put a closing parenthesis, you need to do the same manipulations, just specify a different code.

Hotkeys

All of the listed paired characters can also be set in several ways using hotkey combinations or codes in MS Word.

"Christmas trees":

• Open (") - Shift+digit 2 Alt+0171 ab+Alt+X
• Closed (") - Shift+number 2 Alt+0187 bb+Alt+X

“German” feet or quotation marks with commas:

• Open („) – Alt+0132
• Closed (“) – Alt+0147

English 'single' legs:

• Open (') - Alt+0145 letter E English. keyboard
• Closed (') - Alt+0146 letter E English. keyboard

English upper “double” legs:

• Open (“) — Alt+0147 Shift+E English. keyboard
• Closed (”) - Alt+0148 Shift+E English. keyboard

"Straight double" side sticks:

• Open and closed » – Shift+2+ Ctrl+Z

"Polish":

• Open („) - Alt+ 0132
• Closed (”) - Alt+ 0148 Shift+E English. keyboard

• Open (") - Alt+0187 bb+Alt+X
• Closed (“) – Alt+0171 ab+Alt+X

• Open ( ) - Shift+U English. keyboard

About single and double quotes

Tl;dr

Almost every language in the world uses different symbols for “quotation marks” and “quotes inside other quotation marks,” including Russian.

Russian: outside the “Christmas tree” - AltGr and , inside the “foot” - AltGr+Shift and

Quotes on the layout

Quotation marks in Russian

The following types of quotation marks have names:

• French Christmas tree quotes.
• "Swedish quotes".
• German quotes “paws”, Externally similar to 9966 - double 96 - like U-96 and Il-96.
• English "double" and 'single' quotation marks. Externally similar to 6699 and 69 - like Woodstock.
• “Polish quotes.” Externally similar to 9999 - the largest four-digit decimal number - “Poland strong!”

In the Russian language, French “herringbones” are traditionally used, and for quotation marks inside quotation marks and when writing by hand, German “legs” are used.

In special cases, English single quotation marks are used in Russian texts. Such quotation marks place text indicating the meaning of a certain word or phrase (usually in a foreign language).

When speaking directly at the end of a sentence, the period is placed outside the quotation marks, and the question and exclamation marks and ellipses, on the contrary, remain inside. In other cases (not direct speech - quotes, titles of works, words in an ironic sense, etc.) all signs are usually used:

Quotes in the world

• Since the 1960s, there has been a tendency in British English to change the order of quotation marks: 'like this'. Also in English (especially in its American version), the period is often placed before the closing quotation mark, and not after, as in Russian.
• Traditionally, Belarusian and Ukrainian printing houses used “French” and “German” quotation marks. Now, both in private use and in the media, there is no single generally accepted version of quotation marks, however: “Law of the Republic of Belarus ab Rules of Belarusian arfagraphii and punctuation”, also known as “Pravapis-2008” prescribes the use of “French quotation marks” outside and “English quotation marks” in the Belarusian language double” inside.
• Ukrainian Pravopis (2015), approved by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, prescribes the use of “French quotation marks” outside and “German” inside in the Ukrainian language.

Quotation marks and other special rules

If in the text it is necessary to put a word in quotation marks in a phrase that itself is also “quoted”, it is better to adhere to the following rule:

The outer quotation marks should be made in “herringbone” patterns, and the inner ones should be made with “paws” or “computer”,

Example quote:

“Yesterday the hundredth anniversary of the newspaper “Copywriting Worker” was celebrated.”

“The authors of the text thank “those random guys in the advertising department” who helped them with creative ideas.”

But what to do if we are limited in technical capabilities and have only one, “Christmas tree” type of quotes? Since quotation marks of the same spelling are not placed side by side, we simply eliminate them:

Example quote:

“Will no one stop the supporters of the “Squirrels against Hamsters” movement?

There are cases where quotes are not used at all, and there are several such exceptions - you just need to take them into account:

• when a word (or phrase) is preceded by the phrase “so-called” (here we do not take into account concepts currently used in an ironic or non-standard meaning);
• when names or names are written in Latin (the exception would be several words in Latin written in a row, when understanding the text may be ambiguous: Monitor “Glass” monitor (manufacturer and model name);
• when the name contains a nominal clarification (of the name or memory of someone, something): library named after Kozma Prutkov, fair in memory of Plyushkin.

We hope you now have a better understanding of where, when and how to insert different types of quotation marks in your text.

Good for you!

Method 1: Keyboard Input

English quotation marks on the keyboard are located on the key with the Russian letter “E”; they must be entered in the English layout.

In order to get “sticks”, you need to press the key combination “Shift+E”, and for single ones – only “E”. The first click adds an opening quote, the second - a closing quote. If characters are written before and after an already written word, their type will be determined automatically.

German paired quotation marks are entered in the same way as French ones - the familiar “herringbone” marks for us - by simultaneously pressing the “Shift+2” keys (in the upper numeric block).

Only this needs to be done not in the Russian, but in the German layout, so if there is none in the system, you will first need to add it through “Settings” or “Control Panel”, depending on the version of Windows.

There is another type of quotation marks, which, although visually not similar to commas (at least in most popular fonts), still belong to the “sticks”, which are the English and German ones discussed above. In order to enter them, you need to cancel the replacement with “Christmas trees”, which occurs automatically in Word.

Disabling auto-replacement of “stick” quotes with “herringbone” quotes Straight paired quotes, unlike the English and German ones discussed above, look the same, that is, there is no difference between the opening and closing quotes. If you want to use these symbols by default, you can disable their automatic replacement with Christmas trees. This is done in the “Options” of Word according to the following algorithm:

1. Using the "File" menu on the top panel of the program, open its "Options".

Go to the “Spelling” section of the window that opens.

In the “AutoCorrect Options” option block, click on the button of the same name.

In the new window, go to the “AutoFormat as You Type” tab.

In the “Replace as you type” block, uncheck the “straight” quotes “paired” option and click “OK” for the changes to take effect.

From now on, quotation marks entered in the Russian-language layout in Word will look like paired “sticks” and will not be replaced with “Christmas trees”.

How to turn AutoCorrect on and off

In versions of Word 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016, you can enable this function like this:

1) Go to “File” or “MS Office button” for Word 2007 – then “Options”;

2) Point to the “Spelling” item and click on “AutoCorrect Options”;

3) In the window that opens, follow these steps:

— Open the “Autoformat as you type” tab;

— In the “Replace as you type” section, remove or add a checkmark next to the line “straight” quotes with “paired” quotes.

When it is necessary in the MS Word text editor to highlight direct speech or a quotation, a proper name, or a word that is used in an unusual, ironic meaning, quotation marks help the user. They come in the form of commas or paws, herringbones and special characters - all these are methods that make it easier to type text with a paired punctuation mark. In this article we will figure out how to put quotation marks in Word, using the 2007 version as an example.

Clipboard

Another universal typing method is the clipboard. When using it, the user must perform the following actions:

1. Launch the browser and go to the website of any search engine.
2. Next, in the input line you need to type a description of the element of interest - “square bracket”. Then we start the search operation using Enter.
3. After the end of the previous stage, the site will display the corresponding results. Moreover, they will definitely contain the necessary element.
4. At the next stage, you need to select it and copy it using the context menu or the Ctrl + C combination.
5. Then you need to launch a second application, in the work area of ​​which you need to type this character.
6. Using the manipulator, we activate the corresponding dial field.
7. At the end, press Ctrl + V. After this, the desired symbol that was previously copied will appear.

Quotation marks used in Russian

Nested quotes

In the Russian language, French “herringbones” are traditionally used, and for quotation marks inside quotation marks and when writing by hand, German “legs” are used.

Example with nested quotes:

That’s right:
“My ‘Gypsies’ are not for sale at all,” Pushkin complained.
Incorrect:
“My “Gypsies” are not for sale at all,” Pushkin complained.
If for technical reasons it is impossible to set quotes from another picture, quotes from one picture are not repeated next to each other. Therefore, the following option is acceptable (although undesirable - it is better to highlight the quote in some way that allows you to remove the outer quotes):

It’s acceptable:
my “Gypsies” are not for sale at all,” Pushkin complained.

Quotation marks at the end of a sentence

If, when quoting, the text taken in quotation marks ends with a period, then it is taken out of the text and placed after the closing quotation mark.
If the text ends with an ellipsis or a question or exclamation mark, and the quotation is an independent sentence (and not a member of the sentence in which it is included), then the period after the quotation mark is not placed. For example: A. N. Sokolov writes: “Misunderstanding is the absence of unification.” Pechorin admitted: “I sometimes despise myself...”

English single quotes

A special case is the use of English single words

(sometimes called
Marrian
) quotation marks.
In such quotation marks, according to the rules accepted in lexicology, a text is taken indicating the meaning of a certain word or phrase (usually a foreign language). Numerous examples of the use of English single quotation marks can be found in the “Linguistic Encyclopedic Dictionary” (articles “Vocabulary”, “Phrase”, “Name”, “Affix”, etc.), as well as in scientific and educational linguistic literature. Sometimes (especially in older scientific editions) the left opening quotation mark has a different outline than in standard English quotation marks - ‛: 'language'. Often this combination is called Marr quotation marks
in the narrow sense.

An example to indicate the etymology of a Russian word:

A lady of high society, exposing her ankle, threw the society of the 17th century. a stronger challenge than today's young lady appearing topless on the beach, i.e. in a bathing suit with only the bottom part.

It is also acceptable to separate the word and text in English single quotes using a dash:

Linguistics, from Lat. lingua - 'language'.

It is not necessary to precede such a word with an indication of the language if this already follows from the context:

In German, the elements
frieden
'peace' and
kampf
'struggle' are combined as morphemes.
If necessary, in German you can distinguish ... color shades, say, using the definitions himmelblau
'sky blue' and
dunkelblau
'dark blue'.

An explanation of the meaning of the word can be textually separated from it:

The patient cannot, for example, identify the word
carrot
, but without difficulty defines the word
knowledge
, defining it as 'making oneself mentally familiar with a subject'.

An example of using regular and English single quotes together:

The phrase "Are you going out?" on a bus or trolleybus means 'please let me pass'.

Types of quotes

First, let's look at the existing types of quotes. Symbolically, they are divided into two types: German (the familiar “paws”) and French (otherwise known as “herringbone”). The first type of quotation marks are commas that are placed along the top edge of the text. Most often, such quotation marks are used to write text by hand. And herringbone quotes are combined in pairs: a lesser sign to open the text, a larger sign to close it. “Herringbones” are used to design texts in professional publications, namely, prospectuses, magazines, and advertising booklets.

Types of quotes

When is it used?

Most often, as noted earlier, this symbol is used when typing formulas. For example, when formatting mathematical calculations, it can be used to group different elements and determine the priority of calculations. It can be applied in a similar way to physical equations. Moreover, in chemistry its appearance makes it possible to isolate a complex substance.

But the element in question can be found not only in formulas. For example, words in square brackets are written when transcribing expressions in English phonetically.

You can also often find such a bracket in program code. It allows you to redefine the order of calculations. In some cases, it may be part of the statement, and in another development environment it organizes the entry of a comment.

Separately, it should be noted that this symbol is paired. That is, if a left opening parenthesis is entered, then the right one must also appear further in the text. Otherwise, the meaning of using such elements is lost.

How to make English double quotes

Small, double upper quotation marks are called English double quotation marks.

Easy way

1. Translate your keyboard to English.
2. While holding down the "Shift" key, press the letter "E".

To set an opening English double quotation mark, the cursor must be placed before the word; to set a closing English double quotation mark, the cursor must be placed after the word.

Using codes

Opening English double quotes: "ALT" + "0147".

Closing English double quotes: "ALT" + "0148".

Using symbols

1. Select the Insert tab.
2. Click on the "Symbols" button.
3. In the “Symbols” window, find the quote of interest or enter the character code: for opening quotes “201C”, closing quotes “201D”.

We use hexadecimal code

Continuing the topic of sophisticated methods of how to make square brackets on the keyboard, we move on to hexadecimal code. Although you can’t tell by the name, its essence is painfully simple. Now we’ll just talk about it.

Remember, to quickly search for a symbol, you entered the code 005B - ​​this is the hexadecimal code. Instead of opening the symbols panel and looking for it there - which takes a lot of time - you can write it directly into the text.

Start typing the code where you want to open the bracket, then press ALT+X and you will see the code turn into an opening square bracket. By the way, the closing code is 005D.
