U+2032 "′" Prime is a typographic symbol representing minutes of arc (sixtieths of a degree) in geographic coordinates, or feet in measurement, and also denotes a derivative in calculus. It typically appears as a slanted or vertical short stroke placed at the superscript level, distinct from the straight apostrophe or single quotation mark with which it is often confused. Its design follows mathematical tradition, making it a specialized mark for scientific and technical notation rather than for general punctuation in prose.
