How do I type the tick and backtick characters on Windows?
Backtick (grave accent)
QWERTY and QWERTZ
Key that’s been marked with red border. It’s a dead key by default.
AZERTY France
Alt Gr + Key that’s been marked with red border
AZERTY Belgium
Alt Gr + Key that’s been marked with red border
Forwardtick (acute accent)

Alt codes
There are no forwardtick keys available for the other keyboards, however an alt code exists (Hold left Alt and type the numbers on your num pad). The below codes should work on any keyboard.
- Alt + 96 =
` - Alt + 0180 =
´ - Alt + 39 =
'
So if you want an ', you do the following: Hold left Alt, press
3, release 3 but still hold Alt, press
9, release 9, release Alt.
Unicode Character 'ACUTE ACCENT'
On a Hungarian keyboard the backtick character is available via AltGr+7 (RightAlt+7).
On German keyboard, backtick ´ is on the left to backspace , or right to ß key.
You need to press that key and then press space to show up the ´ character.
