I would say that requiring explicit use of the chars (')

a single text box for data entry ... you could consider having 2
boxes for large and small unit values combined with a dropdown
to select the measurement type (imperial/metric)
Americans would also commonly write:
10'-5 3/4"
To mean 10 feet, 5 and 3/4 inches
