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|´}} The {{w|acute accent}} ([http://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+00B4 U+00B4]) is used as the shortcut character since {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} and {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki>}}, the straight apostrophe-quote and grave accent (respectively), are used to escape the apostrophe. While the acute accent may not be easy to type on keyboards, copy-pasting {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{´}}</nowiki>}} is still significantly less messy than having to type out {{plaincode|<nowiki><span style="padding-left: 0.05em; white-space: nowrap;">′</span></nowiki>}} every time.
