Guillemets (/ˈɡɪləmɛt/, also UK: /ˈɡiːmeɪ/, US: /ˌɡiː(j)əˈmeɪ, ˌɡɪləˈmɛt/, French: [ɡij(ə)mɛ]) are a pair of punctuation marks in the form of sideways double chevrons, « and », sometimes used as quotation marks or ditto marks. When used as quotation marks, single guillemets, ‹ and ›, are used for nested quotations. Guillemets are not conventionally used in English.
