This template produces a {{w|prime symbol}} <code>′</code>. It is designed to be easier to remember and somewhat clearer than an unadorned <code>&amp;#x2032;</code> or <code>&amp;prime;</code>.

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|``}}
 
{{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.

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