This template should not be substituted.

English Wikipedia has an article on:

Template:Double prime

This template produces a double prime symbol (U+2033 ″) 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.

Usage

You type	You get
A{{"}}	A″

Technical notes

The difference between this template and {{spaced double 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 double prime}} is for letters such as lowercase d, f, and l, and uppercase C and T that require more space.
