\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\dblprime}{^{\prime\prime}}
\begin{document}
\[ f''(x) \]
\[ f^{\prime\prime}=\frac{d^2 f}{dx^2} \]
% Use \newcommand for create custom command
\[ f\dblprime \]
\[ f\dblprime_{xy}(x,y) \]
\[ 18^\prime 36\dblprime 16 \]
\[ 1^\prime 33\dblprime 02 \]
\end{document}Output :

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stix}
\begin{document}
\[ f^\dprime \]
\[ f^\dprime(x) \]
\[ f^\dprime=\frac{d^2 f}{dx^2} \]
