Guillemet
Guillemets (, or ; ), also called angle quotes, Latin quotation marks, or French quotation marks, are polylines pointed like arrows (« or »), sometimes forming a complementary set of punctuation marks used as a form of quotation mark.
The symbol at either end—double « and » or single ‹ and ›—is a guillemet. They are used in a number of languages to indicate speech. They resemble the symbols for ''lesser than'' (<), ''greater than'' (>), as well as rewind and fast forward on various media players, such as VCRs, DVD players, and MP3 players.
==Etymology==
The word is a diminutive of the French name ''Guillaume'' (the equivalent in English being ''William''), after the French printer and punchcutter Guillaume Le Bé (1525–98).〔(Character design standards - Punctuation 1 )〕〔(decodeunicode.org . decode . LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK )〕 Some languages derive their word for guillemets analogously. As examples, the Irish term is ''Liamóg'', from ''Liam'' 'William' and a diminutive suffix and, in English, the equivalent term would be "Little Willy".
