This template uses the [[List of XML and HTML character entity references|decimal code]] for the apostrophe or single-quote character so that it doesn't become interpreted with adjacent italics (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) or bold (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) wiki markup. This situation most commonly arises when taking the possessive of titles that [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (text formatting)#Italic face|should be italicized]]. <code><nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki></code> is shorter than <code><nowiki><nowiki>'</nowiki></nowiki></code> and clearer than an unadorned <code><nowiki>&amp;#39;</nowiki></code>.
 
  
 
This template leaves leading space before the apostrophe, unlike the similar {{tl|`}} (no spacing). This template is intended for use with ''[[Italic type|italic]]'' text, whereas {{tl|`}} is intended for use with non-italic text. For example:

This template leaves leading space before the apostrophe, unlike the similar {{`}} (no spacing). This template is intended for use with italic text, whereas {{`}} is intended for use with non-italic text. For example:

  • The ''Iliad''{{'}}s vocabulary is archaic.

generates:

  • The Iliad's vocabulary is archaic.

with a tiny amount of space before the apostrophe to avoid colliding with the italic d at the end of Iliad.

This template is also similar to {{-'}}, used to slightly space apart a leading single quote from a surrounding double quotation mark provided by a template parameter in which the content is placed, e.g. the |title= parameter of {{cite web}}. The equivalent template when manually placing double quotes around a single-quoted passage is {{" '}}; see also {{'-}} and {{' "}} for the right-hand side equivalents (parameter and manual, respectively). All of these templates use 0.2 em of spacing, while this template, {{'}}, uses only 0.1 em of spacing, as does {{'s}}, which is used for possessives in italics.
