We in Germany use the so called 99/66 style quotes. But in typography it’s also possible to use >>/<< style. But as a single font character. In the Field of layout the selection and usage of the right quote and space characters etc. is known as micro-typography. To know and being able to apply typography rules from different regions of the world must be an art form.
