### Unpleasant display of apostrophes under the arrow of a vector

Hi !

Well, the title may sound really weird but the issue in itself is simple :

Here you have the lines :
Notons $$B = (\overrightarrow{u_x},\overrightarrow{u_y},\overrightarrow{u_z})$$ et $$B' = (\overrightarrow{u'_x},\overrightarrow{u'_y},\overrightarrow{u'_z})$$\end{document}

Here you have the output

Here you have me crying in the corner because the apostrophes in the parentheses are hardly noticeable due to the arrow right above... (picture is zoomed here but believe me, on an "a4paper" I got confused)
Have you ever met this problem ? Do you know how to solve it / make them not be glued to the arrows ? Changing the font would be to much for to little, wouldn't be ? Clearly if the arrow was just a little longer it would be perfect!

Thank you !

Hi and welcome to the forum,
you can add a little horizontal space: \overrightarrow{u'_y\,}
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Two ideas:

\overrightarrow{u_y}'

\overrightarrow{u_{'y}}
