dagger
the typographic closing double quotation mark and the neutral double quotation mark are similar to—and sometimes used to represent—the ditto mark and the double prime symbol. likewise, the typographic opening single quotation mark is sometimes used to represent the ʻokina while either the typographic closing single quotation mark or the neutral single quotation mark may represent the prime symbol. all these characters are different, however, and are given different unicode code points. in contrast, the neutral single quotation mark and the typographic closing single quotation mark are, respectively, the same characters as the neutral apostrophe and the typographic apostrophe. (although the neutral single quotation mark and the two typographic single quotation marks have different code points, at least one source holds that there is a unique "true single quote" character with multiple glyphs.)

having failed to secure the rewards he had hoped for from the fort chaliyam affair, from 1545 onwards, the raja of tanur presumed that converting to christianity was the way to express his political alliance. he demanded that he be allowed to keep certain external signs and customs of hinduism after conversion. the theologians in goa were puzzled and undecided on this argument. in 1548, the raja of tanur was secretly converted by the vicar in chalium, joão soares, and the franciscan frey vicente de lagos, who gave the raja a crucifix to hang on a thread, "hidden on his chest". bishop juan de albuquereque also sent antonio gomes, the jesuit, to tanur to teach the raja "the true doctrine". gomes arrived in tanur with 60 portuguese soldiers, and was allowed to build the church in tanur. he was also able to secretly baptise the raja of tanur’s wife as "dona maria", and to perform christian marriage rites for the royal couple.
