This template produces a {{w|prime symbol|double 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|&amp~~;~~#x2033~~;~~}} or {{plaincode|&Prime;}}~~.

This template produces a {{w|prime symbol|double prime symbol}} ([http://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2033 U+2033] <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 eliminates the need to have to type out <code><nowiki><span style="padding-left: 0.05em; white-space: nowrap;">″</span></nowiki></code>.

=== Technical notes ===

The difference between this template and {{tlx|spaced double 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 double prime}}</nowiki>}} is for letters such as lowercase ''d'', ''f'', and ''l'', and uppercase ''C'' and ''T'' that require more space.
