Back quote

 Alternatively known as acute, backtick, left quote, or an open quote, the back quote or backquote is a punctuation mark (`). It's on the same U.S. computer keyboard key as the tilde.

 

Where is the back quote key on the keyboard?

Below is an overview of a computer keyboard with the back quote key highlighted in blue.

How to create the ` symbol

Creating the ` symbol on a U.S. keyboard

To create a back quote using a U.S. keyboard, press the `, which is located directly below the Esc key. This key is also used for typing the tilde ( ~ ) character if the Shift key is held while it is pressed.

Creating the ` symbol on a smartphone or tablet

To create a back quote on a smartphone or tablet locate the single quote in the numbers (123) or symbols (sym) section, and tap and hold the ' symbol. As you continue to hold down on the ' symbol, a menu containing the back quote appears. Drag your finger up to the back quote and let go to insert the symbol.

 

Thank you.
