This template produces a {{w|prime symbol}} <code>′</code> with leading space so it does not collide with preceding '''bold''' (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) or ''italic'' (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) characters.

This template produces a {{w|prime symbol}} ([http://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2032 U+2032] <code>′</code>) with leading space so it does not collide with preceding '''bold''' (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) or ''italic'' (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) characters.

{{shortcut|-~~´}} The {{w|acute accent~~}} ~~([https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+00B4 U+00B4]) is used since~~ {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} ~~and {{plaincode|~~<nowiki>~~{{`}}~~</nowiki>~~}}, the straight apostrophe-quote and grave accent (respectively), are used to escape the apostrophe~~.

Using {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{-`}}</nowiki>}} is significantly less messy than having to type out <code><nowiki><span style="padding-left: 0.15em; white-space: nowrap;">′</span></nowiki></code> every time.

=== Technical notes ===

The difference between {{tlx|prime|plaincode}} and this template is that {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{prime}}</nowiki>}} is for letters that require little or no spacing, such as lowercase ''a'', ''o'', and ''s'', and uppercase ''A'' and ''L'', while this template is for letters such as ''d'', ''f'', and ''l'', and uppercase ''C'' and ''T'' that require more space.

* {{tlx|'|plaincode}} and {{tlx|`|plaincode}} – used to insert an apostrophe that is not interpreted as Wiki markup
