This template should not be substituted.
English Wikipedia has an article on:

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.

📝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.

Copy-pasting {{´}} is significantly less messy than having to type out <span style="padding-left: 0.05em; white-space: nowrap;">′</span> every time.

Usage

You type You get
A{{´}} A

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.
