Unlike periods, commas, question marks, exclamation points; semicolons and colons need to be excluded from the quote.

Use single quotation marks for quotes within quotes. Note that the period goes inside all quote marks. //He said, "Danea said, 'Do not treat me that way.'"// Use quotation marks to set off a direct quotation only. //"When will you be here?" he asked.// //He asked when you will be there.//

Straight quotation marks (or italicized straight quotation marks) are often used when signifying feet and inches, arcminutes and arcseconds or minutes and ﻿﻿﻿﻿ [|seconds] ﻿﻿﻿, where the quotation mark symbolises the latter part of the pair. 5 feet and 6 inches is written 5' 6", 40 degrees, 20 arcminutes, and 50 arcseconds is written 40° 20' 50".
