This template should not be substituted. |
This template produces a prime symbol (U+2032 ′) with leading space so it does not collide with preceding bold (''') or italic ('') characters.
Note: You can use {{-´}} as a shortcut. The acute accent (U+00B4) is used since {{'}} and {{`}}, the straight apostrophe-quote and grave accent (respectively), are used to escape the apostrophe. Copy-pasting {{-´}} is still significantly less messy than having to type out <span style="padding-left: 0.15em; white-space: nowrap;">′</span> every time.
Usage
| You type | You get |

Technical notes
The difference between {{prime}} and this template is that {{prime}} is for letters that require little or no spacing, such as lowercase a, o, and s, and uppercase A and L, while this template is for letters such as d, f, and l, and uppercase C and T that require more space.
