Get an acute/backtick/left quote aka this thing ` in Latex

Question

I am creating a document where I need to have the following output from latex:

display "`example'"

This is for an exercise for my programming class. It naturally needs to read exactly like that - double inverted commas, then the elusive backtick I so desire, then some text of little import, then the single inverted comma, followed by the double again. I am struggling just to get the backtick as Latex has its own way of interpreting this. I have tried to escape it with backslash but that then gives me a diacritic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I have learned that another name for the character I seek is a grave accent.

Regards, Bruce

Answer 1

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}

\verb|"`example'"|

\textquotedbl\textasciigrave example\textquotesingle\textquotedbl

\texttt{\textquotedbl\textasciigrave example\textquotesingle\textquotedbl}

\end{document}

Answer 2

I found that I could achieve this in quite a simple way. I just had to first learn that it is called a grave accent, which you can apply as a diacritic with \`{}. If you don't put anything inside the {} you effectively get a lone grave accent, which is what I wanted. So, solution was exactly as follows:

``\`{}example'''

giving

"`example'"
