How to enter a prime( ' ) to a variable

[RareBugTX]

Does anybody know how can I type a variable with a "prime" character or any other like a star character. When I try doing it Mathcad does something else and does not treat my prime ( ' ) as part of the variable.

Thanks!!!

<ctrl><shft>-k toggles the special character mode

I use the ` that is below the ~ on the keyboard upper left hand corner.

Thanks for the advise, it works great with my concrete's f'c and so on so forth, who cares if the apostrophe is tilted just a little bit and most fonts wouldn't even show the difference.

I am pretty sure ctrl-F7 will give you a prime. I don't have mathcad on this computer so I can't confirm right now.
