Technical notes

The difference between this template and {{spaced prime}} 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 {{spaced prime}} is for letters such as lowercase d, f, and l, and uppercase C and T that require more space.
