💡 Best Practices
Do
- Prefer
‴for readable HTML source - Use ‴ for third derivatives alongside ′ and ″
- Use proper prime glyphs instead of repeated apostrophes (
''') - Pick one entity style per project for consistency
- For complex equations, consider MathML, MathJax, or KaTeX
Don’t
- Confuse ‴ (triple prime) with ‷ (reversed triple prime)
- Confuse ‴ with ≋ (triple tilde math operator)
- Use three straight quotes (
''') when ‴ is intended - Put CSS escape
\2034directly in HTML text nodes - Forget UTF-8 (
<meta charset="utf-8">) in your document
