5 years ago Why is there a corresponding test? see https://w3c.github.io/i18n-tests/run?base=html/semantics/text-level-semantics/the-q-element&batch=the-q-element&test=q-lang-hi.html
There's a test because the CSS spec and CLDR imply that quotation marks are used. The test can be changed.

2.6.1 Default quotation marks for a q element Gap analysis doc mentions "For Hindi and Marathi, CLDR says that the default quote marks should be, reading right to left, “...”, and embedded quote marks ‘...’. Edge fails to produce any quotation marks, although it does so for other languages. (Firefox, Chrome & Safari are ok.)"
Why is CLDR providing rules for using quotation marks in Devanagari? There should be no quotation marks used for Devanagari.

Call for action: Provide examples for quotation marks usage in Devanagari based languages to evaluate use cases and related requirement for supporting in a type layout spec.
