I love these heavy Unicode quotation marks.
Not only are they distinct from the quoted text, they also provide a nice "visual framing"
The opening one is U+1F676,
the closing one is U+1F678.

After poking around, it looks like the deepseek ai engine was built with python. Not assembler, not lisp, not snoball, not C or C++ or Java. Python, a scripting language. Have I heard right?
