Re: 「 」 or " " in Japanese graphical user interface

Hi Christian,

This is really interesting to me. I looked up for some examples:

1. Fastcopy, a software with a quite long history, uses the square quotes. The developer is Japanese native. Link: https://fastcopy.jp/img/fc_sample2.png

2. Japanese translation of the Linux From Scratch book also uses the square quotes.

Well, this is not user interface, but I guess it also suggests something.

3. JP-Manpages also uses square quotes. Link: https://ja.manpages.org/dhcp-options/5

As a result, I guess the square quotes are the usual use.

However, I find it quite difficult to find user interface examples - seems that the quotes are not often to appear. I glanced at the user interface of vim(1) and the screenshots of several distros, but failed to find such examples.

Best wishes,
