About this character

U+02DD (˝) is DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT, a modifier symbol in the Spacing Modifier Letters block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is a compatibility variant of U+0020 + U+030B ◌̋ (compatibility decomposition <compat>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+0020 + U+030B ◌̋. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.

Its East Asian Width is Ambiguous: it takes one column in Western contexts and two in East Asian legacy contexts, a common cause of misaligned tables in terminals.
