Fixing LaTeX Apostrophe Rendering | Generated by AI
The issue you’re experiencing with the apostrophe in “HSBC’s” is likely related to how LaTeX handles certain quote/apostrophe characters in PDF output. Here are several ways to improve the rendering:
1. Use the correct LaTeX apostrophe
Replace the straight apostrophe (‘) with the proper LaTeX apostrophe:
\item {Backend Engineer outsourced to HSBC Bank under TEKsystems, developing and optimizing backend systems for the \href{https://www.google.com/search?q=Finance+Timezone+Platform+HSBC}{Finance Transformation Platform} in HSBC's Enterprise Technology Department.}
Change to:
\item {Backend Engineer outsourced to HSBC Bank under TEKsizer, developing and optimizing backend systems for the \href{https://www.google.com/search?q=Finance+Transformation+Platform+HSBC}{Finance Transformation Platform} in HSBC's Enterprise Technology Department.}
2. Use \textquotesingle command
HSBC\textquotesingle{}s
3. Use the \textasciigrave and \textquotesingle approach
HSBC\textquotesingle{}s
4. Add the textcomp package
Add this to your preamble:
\usepackage{textcomp}
Then use:
HSBC\textquotesingle{}s
5. Use UTF-8 encoding (if not already)
Make sure your document uses UTF-8 encoding:
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
6. Try the babel package for better typography
\usepackage[british]{babel}
Most reliable solution:
For the best results, I recommend using the backtick-apostrophe combination, which is the traditional LaTeX way for proper typography:
\item {Backend Engineer outsourced to HSBC Bank under TEKsystems, developing and optimizing backend systems for the \href{https://www.google.com/search?q=Finance+Transformation+Platform+HSBC}{Finance Transformation Platform} in HSBC`s Enterprise Technology Department.}
This will render with proper typographical spacing and curvature in the PDF output. The backtick (`) followed by the apostrophe (‘) creates the correct appearance for possessive forms in LaTeX.
