There are different escaping rules for using single quotation mark and double quotation marks.

For double quoting:

The following characters must be escaped by prepending a backslash:

• $ (dollar sign)
• " (double quotation marks)
• ' (single quotation marks)
• ` (back quotation marks)
• \ (backslash)

For example, use the following for a string that contains the special characters, $, ",',`and \.

For single quotation marks:
