julia> a = :test
:test

julia> typeof(a)
Symbol

julia> b = :test test
ERROR: syntax: extra token "test" after end of expression

julia> b = :"test test" # Ruby style?
"test test"

julia> typeof(b) # Not a Symbol?
ASCIIString (constructor with 1 method)

julia> b = symbol(b) # How to write it without calling symbol() function.
:test test

julia> typeof(b)
Symbol


I just red that in Ruby you use:

:"test test"

in Smalltalk:

#'test test'

and in Lisp:

|test test|
