# smartQuotesType

The configuration state for smart quotes.

## Declaration

```swift
optional var smartQuotesType: UITextSmartQuotesType { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this property to configure whether UIKit replaces straight apostrophes and quotation marks with region-specific glyphs. The default value of this property is UITextSmartQuotesType.default, which selectively enables smart quotes based on the keyboard type.
