English Wikipedia has an article on:

Template:Apostrophe

This template uses the decimal code for the apostrophe or single-quote character. When taking the possessive of titles, or when indicating the derivative of a function, this template prevents an apostrophe or single quote from becoming mistakenly interpreted with adjacent bold (''') or italic ('') Wiki markup.

You type	You get
''Z''{{'}}(''x'' + ''y'')	Z'(x + y)
''L''{{'}}s and ''s''{{'}}s	L's and s's
