Backticks aren't XKCD style

[Antithesise]

(xkcd Script)

I'm not sure whether XKCD contains any backticks, but perhaps one could be created by an AI trying to match the style of the font (or in MS Paint)?

(Still a great font though.)

I don't know how busy he is but I feel like someone could email Randall and ask him to draw a single backtick to use in the font? The idea of asking someone to draw one (1) tiny character is also funny to me

Sorry, no backticks anywhere induvidually, but I do have a similar-looking diacritic here.

You are free to use other diacritics, and BTW, original comic here
