What does the ' symbol mean behind a stock?

When I look at the stocks listed on tradeking, some of the ticker symbols have a ' at the end of them. Also today some of them have a .T and a .L and "B.
For instance, one of the top percentage losers yesterday was BUS'

Just want to know what these ', .T, .L, and "B mean. And is there a glossary somewhere that lists these.

Thank you

Most of the time these symbols mean the stocks are traded on a different exchange. For example, pink sheet stocks have a .PK attached to the end of them, Canadian stocks have .CA. I have not heard of .T and .L though before.

If you can please share a link where you found this and I will take a closer look.
