Why does » show up as « when I use the font quicksand in google fonts?

I want to print out a "»" on a webpage. I write the character using UTF-8 (no charcode just the character)

Using the specific font "Quicksand" font-weight 700 from google web-font dierectory, it points to the left rather than the right. Other fonts from the dierectory works fine.

The character I want is called &raquo but the one I get is «

They are also refered to as: Angle quote mark, left, charcode: «
Angle quote mark, right charcode: »

Solution

  • Presumably because there is an error in the font file. Report it to Google.
