This template leaves leading space before the apostrophe, unlike the similar {{tn|`}} (no spacing). This template is intended for use immediately following ''[[Italic type|italic]]'' text, whereas {{tn|`}} is intended for use anywhere else. For example:
* <code><nowiki>The ''Iliad''{{'}}s vocabulary is archaic.</nowiki></code>
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 {{tn|-'}}, used to slightly space apart a leading single quote from a surrounding double quotation mark, e.g. in link text or a template parameter in which the content is placed. The equivalent template when manually placing double quotes around a single-quoted passage is {{tn|" '}}; see also {{tn|'-}} and {{tn|' "}} for the right-hand side equivalents (parameter and manual, respectively). All of these templates use 0.2 em of spacing, while this template, {{tn|'}}, uses only 0.1 em of spacing, as does {{tn|'s}}, which is used for possessives in italics.
