This template should not be substituted. |
This template produces a prime symbol (U+2032 ′) with a small amount of leading space so it does not collide with preceding bold (''') or italic ('') characters. It eliminates the need to have to type out <span style{{=}}"padding-left: 0.05em; white-space: nowrap;">′</span>.
| Note: | You can use {{´}} as a shortcut.
|
The acute accent (U+00B4) is used as the shortcut character since {{'}} and {{`}}, the straight apostrophe-quote and grave accent (respectively), are used to escape the apostrophe.
Usage
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
A{{´}}
