--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- And here is a recent Google AI overview for the query "what is the national standard in switzerland for digital content with guillemets and spaces" AI Overview The national standard in Switzerland for digital content using guillemets (« ») is to place them pointing outwards («text») without spaces between the quotation marks and the quoted text. This applies to both Swiss Standard German and French texts, differing from the spacing used in France. Key Rules for Swiss Digital Content: Symbol Orientation: Guillemets always point outwards: « opening and » closing. Spacing: No spaces are placed between the guillemets and the quoted text (e.g., «Text»), which differs from the thin-space requirement in France. Official Usage: The Swiss Federal Chancellery dictates the use of « » for official documents, rather than German-style „ “ or » «. Nested Quotes: For quotes within quotes, single guillemets (‹ ›) are used, also typically without spaces. German Specifics: In Swiss German, the letter ß is omitted in favor of ss. While some print media may use very small spaces, the standard for digital, web, and official typography in Switzerland is tight, with no, or almost no, space separating the guillemets from the text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
