\textit{120 kHz ’e}
\end{document}

and output,

enter image description here

Sometimes this red line is getting longer. Why not red line is short? I didn't find solution about this question. Does anyone know how to fix it? (My english text changeable)

(SI) Units have to be typed according to certain rules. Don't worry about them if you don't know what are the rules, use siunitx. Then all the spacing and fonts will come right. Never use italics for units as already told by egreg.

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[detect-all]{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\SI{120}{\kHz}\,’e

!!!Don't do this!!!
\textit{\SI{120}{\kHz}\,’e}   %% Don't do this don't.

\end{document}

  • Probably the space before 'e should be absent or thin (\,); I believe it's a “declension suffix”. – egreg Apr 15 '15 at 23:43
  • @egreg Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. BTW what is declension suffix? Reading now :-) Thanks and I have added a thin space. –  Apr 15 '15 at 23:47

    Possibly something analog to this question: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/98330/changing-the-suffix-according-to-the-figure-number I'm not sure if “declension” is the right term. – egreg Apr 15 '15 at 23:49
  • @egreg Oh, now I am slowly getting it. Then I think it should be 120'e kHz IMO. Thanks for letting me learn some Latin things. :-) –  Apr 15 '15 at 23:52
  • That's Turkish. ;-) – egreg Apr 15 '15 at 23:55
  • @egreg Oh No!. The word (declension) was coined with latin. Again thanks for holding me from stumbling :-) –  Apr 15 '15 at 23:57
