No worries! In the troff(7)* language, the character ` becomes a left quotation on typesetters supporting it, and ' becomes a right quotation. IOW, if your terminal supports unicode (along with a few other variables), `command` in the input code can end up being displayed as ‘command‘ which is not the input the shell expects! The way to typeset the ` character is with either the \` escape sequence or the \(ga character -- both should be portable across different *roff's according to groff_char(7), so I opted for the latter. Hope this clarifies :) --- * manual page might be groff(7) on your system. -- S.
