Found in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Angled_quotation_marks_in_various_European_languages Some languages, such as French or Italian, use angle quotation marks (chevrons or guillemets or duck-foot quotes) and add a quarter-em space (officially) (U+2005,  ) within the quotes. However, virtually all countries that have this rule now use the non-breaking space, because the difference between a non-breaking space and a four-per-em is virtually imperceptible, and the quarter-em is virtually always omitted in non-Unicode fonts. Even more commonly, people just put a normal space between the quotation marks because the non-break is not accessible through their keyboard layout. [Note: full-width non-breaking spaces have been used in examples for technical reasons] Please have a look at the current debian.css, French quotes have been fixed this way. Nested quotation marks for French look also wrong to me, I will send a message to our mailing list to discuss it. Anyway I do not understand why you spend time on finding those quotation marks for all languages; this is translators' job, simply put debian.css files under their directory and they will take care of it.
