You need to escape the characters, also if you share the code and error, it would be easier to debug — Golden_flash, Apr 04 '19 at 15:26

You need to escape your special characters like " or ' by putting a backslash before it like so:

myString = "he said \"felt not well\""

You can either use ' outside the string:

s = 'he said "felt not well"'

or use a triple ":

s = """
    he said "felt not well"
    """

or escape each character:

s = "he said \"felt not well\""

You can use Unicode characters. For example like this:

print(u'\u201CHallo World\u201D')

This will result in “Hallo World”

If you just want to add regular " You can either use different quitations print('"Hello World"') this will print "Hello World"

Or you can use escaping print("\"Hello World\"") this will print "Hello World"
