[Heb-NACO] rule for adding ' to separate diphthongs?

I’m trying to find the reason/rule for adding an apostrophe between adjacent consonants that could be mistaken for different letters/sounds (e.g. a צ with a sheva nah next to an aspirated ה is romanized ts’h, lest someone think it’s a ת followed by a ש).  Can someone please help me find the “chapter and verse”?

Thanks, Jasmin
