Technique and Theory
In most languages quotation marks are written in the form
qq
or
bb
(“ ”) on top or bottom.
Are there any use or occurrence for the form
pp
(‟ [U+201F]) or even
dd?
(The last form I can not find in Unicode, even as apostrophes).

Thanks for your answer!
I participated there in the discussion at that time. The form
pp
is mentioned here,
dd
probably seems not to exist.

‟ is a stylistic variant of “. In a few fonts “ has that shape.
201F has the following comment in the Unicode chart:
has same semantic as 201C, but differs in appearance
