About the reversed prime symbol

The reversed prime is a punctuation mark used in specialized typography and notation. It serves as a mirror image of the standard prime symbol, often appearing in mathematical or linguistic contexts to denote reversed or inverted values, such as in coordinate systems or phonetic transcription where a backward slant is needed.

This character primarily occurs in technical and academic writing, particularly in fields like mathematics, physics, and linguistics. It may also be used in some historical or stylistic typesetting as a distinct alternative to the regular prime, though it is far less common in everyday text.
