Wasn't it a small vertical quote ? The evidences using the ASCII
single quote mark are easy to find.
I've also occasionnaly seen a small raised tack and a small caron
(both were centered on the height of digits, i.e. with parts slightly
above), possibly as more visible variants of quote-like marks.
