How can I escape a backtick?

I've tried whatever is written in the "How to Format" rubric that's on the right of the page, but it didn't work:
like _so_

I want the backtick to be written in a comment (This is why a code block isn't a solution)

Thank you.

Edit #1 (12:04 UTC):

By using CodeCaster's answer, I've managed to escape a backtick. But a funny thing happens when using the following two examples:

First example:

Code:

`like _so_\`` 

Result: `like so``

Second Example:

Code:

``like _so_\` 

Result: ``like so`
