The formatted text can be surrounded with double backtick quotes, if it already contains such characters, to create the same effect:

If the quote is located at the beginning or end of the span, it can be separated with a single space that will not be displayed:
A single quote: `` ` ``
A text in backtick quotes: `` `something` ``
