This template produces a {{w|prime symbol}} <code>′</code> with a small amount of leading space so it does not collide with preceding '''bold''' (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) or ''italic'' (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) characters. It is designed to be easier to remember and somewhat clearer than an unadorned {{plaincode|&#x2032;}} or {{plaincode|&prime;}}.
This template produces a {{w|prime symbol}} ([http://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2032 U+2032] <code>′</code>) with a small amount of 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.
{{shortcut|``}}
{{plaincode|<nowiki>{{``}}</nowiki>}} is significantly less messy than having to type out <code><nowiki><span style="padding-left: 0.05em; white-space: nowrap;">′</span></nowiki></code> every time.
