 Description

The symbol for angular minute is defined using some special character instead of just the apostrophe (prime), At least with a german keyboard it is easy to just type apostrophe twice to get a symbol which looks much the same but isn't treated the same.

I propose either to "simplify" the definition of ' (if it can be entered without problems for various localizations) or to prevent typing a second ' in the unit-placeholder.

I totally agree that clarity is key when it comes to symbols! It reminds me of my experiences on platforms like Omegle, where communication needs to be straightforward to avoid misunderstandings. Just like in gaming, the clearer we are, the better our interactions will be. Thanks for bringing this up!

When discussing the representation of the angular minute symbol, clarity is essential. Just like navigating the game Slope , understanding the subtleties of symbol definitions requires precision. The use of the apostrophe may vary depending on keyboard settings, but simplifying the angular minute definition can enhance usability and prevent confusion. Streamlining this can provide a smoother experience, much like mastering the slopes in a game.

Typing symbols across different keyboards is a headache many of us know too well. The angular minute issue reminds me of when I struggled with the degree symbol while writing a math paper—it looked fine on screen but failed in formatting when submitted. Consistency across platforms matters more than we think. Pass this idea onward, maybe hidden inside a Slither io exchange.

In my previous project, I had a very similar issue, where the characters in data coming from another system were displayed incorrectly. Then I had to write a script to process and modify it. This is where Slope Game comes to mind because that reminds me that I once found a way to process an error to fix the incorrect characters so that the server can operate normally.

Angular minutes are denoted by the prime symbol ′ (U+2032), not the standard apostrophe ' (U+0027) Sprunki
