There are further languages other than French with extended Latin 
alphabets that use different characters as quotation marks than English. 
In contrast to the English quotation marks (U+201c (8220), U+201d 
(8221)), German and Hungarian use low open quotation marks (U+201E 
(8222)). The Hungarian close quotation mark is identical to that of 
English (U+201D (8221)), while in German the close quotation mark is 
identical to the English open quotation mark (U+201C (8220)). It should 
be clearly indicated that the table is just an example, and there are 
further quotation marks in other languages, or even extend the table 
with further examples.
