Html – JS: inline date substring…how to prevent space before?

Given:

<p id="copyright">
&copy;&nbsp;&apos;
<script>
document.getElementById('copyright').appendChild(document.createTextNode(new Date().getFullYear().toString().substr(-2)))
</script>
Company Name
</p>

How does one prevent the space between the ‘ and the two digit year, i.e.,
© ‘ 24 Company Name?

    Very simple, just remove the whitespace you put there (remember that the newline counts as whitespace here):

    <p id="copyright">
&copy;&nbsp;&apos;<script>
document.getElementById('copyright').appendChild(document.createTextNode(new Date().getFullYear().toString().substr(-2)))
</script>
Company Name
</p>

    Indeed hacky though. Here is another approach:

    const copyrightYear = new Date().getFullYear().toString().substr(-2)
document.querySelector('#copyright-year').textContent = copyrightYear
    <p id="copyright">
  &copy;&nbsp;&apos;<span id="copyright-year"></span>
  Company Name
</p>

    Note that here, too, there must not be any whitespace between &apos; and <span id="copyright-year"></span>.

    There is hidden whitespace on the left of the script tag. You can fix it like this:

    <p id="copyright">
&copy;&nbsp;&apos;<script>
document.getElementById('copyright').appendChild(document.createTextNode(new Date().getFullYear().toString().substr(-2)))
</script>
Company Name
</p>
