This template produces a prime symbol ′ with a small amount of leading space so it does not collide with preceding bold (''') or italic ('') characters. It is designed to be easier to remember and somewhat clearer than an unadorned ′ or ′.
| Note: | You can use {{´}} as a shortcut.
|
The acute accent is used for the shortcut since {{'}} and {{`}} are used to escape the apostrophe. Alternatively, you can use {{,}} (the punctuation comma).
