== Ditto mark == {{main|Ditto mark}} In [[English language|English]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[French language|French]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[German language|German]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Czech language|Czech]], [[Polish language|Polish]] and [[Turkish language|Turkish]] lists, the [[ditto mark]] (″) represents a word repeated from the equivalent position in the line above it; or an evenly-spaced row of ditto marks represents any number of words repeated from above. For example: * Two pounds of lettuce * Three ″ ″ tomatoes * Four ″ ″ onions * One pound ″ carrots This is common in handwriting and formerly in typewritten texts. In [[Unicode]], the [[ditto mark]] of [[Western world|Western languages]] has been defined to be equivalent to the {{unichar|2033|double prime|html=|nlink=Double prime}}.{{citation needed|date=July 2019|reason=Different Western languages have different typographic requirements, it might be ”, „, or even ». Double prime ″ U+2033 is cross referenced from 〃 U+3003 in the Code Charts only because it has similar shape to the CJK ditto mark}} The separate character {{unichar|3003|ditto mark|html=}} is to be used in the [[CJK characters|CJK scripts]] only.<ref>{{cite web|title=Unicode Standard Annex #24: Unicode Script Property |url=https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/tr24-19.html#Script_Extensions|at=2.9 Script_Extensions Property|access-date=2013-05-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/Public/6.2.0/ucd/ScriptExtensions.txt|title=ScriptExtensions.txt|access-date=2013-05-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U3000.pdf|title=CJK symbols and Punctuation|access-date=2013-05-20}}</ref> The convention in Polish handwriting, Czech, [[Swedish language|Swedish]], and Austrian German is to use a ditto mark on the baseline together with horizontal lines spanning the extent of the word repeated, for example: * {{lang|pl|Dwa kilogramy pomidorów}} * {{lang|pl|Trzy — „ — cebuli}} * {{lang|pl|Cztery — „ — ziemniaków}}
