It does not really exist. The standard double quote is typically used to both open and close a quoted block.
Now, for the exceptions. Several word processing programs, and others, give special treatment to an opening and closing double quote. The usage is typically implied by the context of the sentence. For example, MS word will flip the quotes to close a quoted segment, but it can easily get confused.

What program are you trying to get a reversed double quote in?

Cool they work.. LOL

But basically it's too much effort for most people so they use these " "
Seeing they do not point anywhere they are universal....

Being lazy has it's advantages ;)
on a sidenote, using extended ascii chars (Alt + 0128-0255)...or even just one (in addition to normal symbol-alpha-numerics) will do wonders for password security.  In windows system passwords, it defeats most or al of the brute force, dictionary, and hash cracker utilities out there.  On 'nix systems, it additionally nearly disables local logging in of those accounts (Alt + 0xxx combo typically doesn't send extended ASCII or unicode chars, and simply plugging in a foreign keyboard doesn't change the keyboard driver).  It makes it a pain to log in from non-doze systems (like w/ doze terminal services client for 'nix or ssh'ing in) cause you may need to generate the character you need in a text editor then copy it to the clipboard, but goes a LONG way against defeating brute force & dictionary attacks.  Many applications (local or on-line) don't allow such passwords, but for those that do it can come in handy for those überl33t account passwords.

Another reason not to use the left and right quote is seen in my other post...

Not everything gets recognised everywhere ;)
thank you everyone!
