TIL: How to Escape a Backtick in Markdown

I needed to send a bit of inline code in some Markdown today and it needed to have a ‘ in it. I realized I hadn't done that before. I write code with ‘ in it somewhat frequently because Lisp uses it for quasi-quoting, but I always write everything in org syntax where you can use either = or ~. But in Markdown if you need to have a ‘ in your inline code you need to wrap your inline code with more ‘ characters.

  `This is some inline code`
  ``This is some inline code with a ` (backtick) in it``
  ```This is some inline code with `` (two backticks) in it```

It looks like the sky might be the limit.
