The backtick ` is a typographical mark used mainly in computing. It is also known as backquote, grave, or grave accent. The character was designed for typewriters to add a grave accent to a (lower-case) base letter, by overtyping it atop that letter. On early computer systems, however, this physical dead key+overtype function was rarely supported, being functionally replaced by precomposed characters. Consequently, this ASCII symbol was rarely (if ever) used in computer systems for its original aim and became repurposed for many unrelated uses in computer programming.

  • Машинопи́сный обра́тный апостро́ф (знак побо́чного ударе́ния) — условное название знака, встречающегося на большинстве компьютерных клавиатур; в пишущих машинках с латинским шрифтом соответствующая клавиша использовалась для печати \-образного диакритического знака — ̀ (фр. accent grave, церк.-слав. варíя) — при нажатии на неё каретка не передвигалась, так что очередная буква печаталась под этим знаком. В качестве типографского символа машинописный обратный апостроф является эрзацем открывающей одиночной английской кавычки ( ‘ ), знаков ударения (или иных надстрочных знаков сходной формы), а также обычного машинописного апострофа ( ' ).
