quote> terminal output

Hi, first time posting so please excuse me if I am not in the correct forum.
I was using nslookup to look up a URL and once searched, the next line outputted to the terminal is "quote> " and allows me to enter input and hit enter. But no matter what I put, it just does the same thing. Below is what my terminal looks like.
Basically, I am confused about what this means.

# nslookup <website URL I entered>
quote>

That's funny. I do not get that:

Code:

$ nslookup google.com
Server:		127.0.0.53
Address:	127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	google.com
Address: 172.217.164.174
Name:	google.com
Address: 2607:f8b0:4004:801::200e

Could you post the actual terminal output, being sure to surround it with "code" tags, which become availalbe when click the "Go Advanced" button beneath the compose/edit post window?

You probably have an unmatched quote in <website URL I entered>. This is really about your shell, not nslookup in particular.
