Python print " character

Question

How can I print the " character?

I know that printing the % symbol is print "%%" but I do not know how to print the " character.

Out of curiosity, what search terms did you try on Google? The above link was the first result I got for "python quotation mark". — Ben, Mar 15 '16 at 01:31
You have to excuse my lack of English. I tried to search just typing the " symbol and nothing could came out. So silly... — Mr T, Mar 15 '16 at 01:32
No problem - punctuation marks are notoriously difficult to search for if you don't know their name. — Ben, Mar 15 '16 at 01:34
Symbolhound.com lets you search for symbols as well as words. — jkdev, Mar 20 '16 at 12:34

Just escape it:

print("\"")

Or as zondo mentioned:

print('"')

Even:

print("""""""")

(Triple double-quoted string with " inside)

print('''"''')

(Triple single-quoted string with " inside)

Output:

or what about `print("""he said "heya" to her""")`? – Martin Tournoij Mar 15 '16 at 01:27

There are two ways. Either escape the character with a backslash or use a different kind of quotation marks:

print("\"")

or

print('"')
