How to escape the ` character in HTML?

Question

I&#8217;m trying to add a terminal code snippet in a post here (Step 6). This is what I want to add it there: But when I post it, it appears like this: sudo killcat /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid. BBPress won&#8217;t escape the ` character. Tried using two backward slashes too. Any ideas?

After experimenting with

 and , I don’t think it’s easy to escape it. I settled with using the HTML entity for the ` grave accent. Here you go! sudo kill `cat /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid`. Use  tags to wrap it instead of ` `. This is how I added it!
